What is the Basic Eligibility Criteria?

First things first, to sponsor your family member, you need to meet a particular set of requirements. This includes the following: 

1. You need to be 18 years or older

2. You need to be a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen

3. You need to be registered under the Canadian Indian Act.

If you meet all of the above requirements, you can then move on to the next step. 

Which Family Member Can You Sponsor?

When it comes to family sponsorship, applicants can sponsor their spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent children (biological or adopted), parents, grandparents, and other relatives such as brothers and sisters. 

What Are Your Responsibilities as a Sponsor?

If you sponsor a sibling to become a permanent resident of Canada, you must meet the set income guidelines and agree to support them financially. However, your sibling will also sign an agreement that says they will make an effort to support themselves as soon as possible (in the case they are 20 years or older). 

What is the Estimated Time for the Application Process?

There’s no fixed time, and the duration can vary depending on the Canadian Immigration Visa Office handling your sponsorship application and the family member you are sponsoring.

Reasons Why Sponsorship Application May Be Returned?

Your sponsorship applications can be returned if it’s incomplete, you haven’t paid the fee as yet, you’ve missed the deadline, or you weren’t invited to apply (only applicable for parents and grandparents). 

Sponsorship Refusal

Some sponsorship applications can be denied if you don’t declare all family members, misrepresentation, or other documentation problems.

 

If you’re looking for a way to bring your sibling to Canada, then sponsorship is the way. However, the process can get tricky and challenging.
