Canada is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world and has one of the highest immigration rates among any other nations. Canada was built on the successful movement of migrants from all over the world who chose this country as their new home and place of residence. As a result, there was a huge influx of new immigrants that arrived in Canada and this helped shape and create Canada as we know it today. Family sponsorship in Canada played a vital role in the successful migration of people from around the world and helped create stable family environments for those who wanted to start a new life in Canada.

SPONSORSHIP OPTIONS IN CANADA
There are two main facets of family sponsorship under the family class in Canada:
- Sponsoring your spouse, conjugal/common law partner and/or your dependent children (including adopted children).
- Sponsoring other eligible relatives
Depending on which member of the family class you are sponsoring, the process will be different. Our office can ensure that you have all the necessary information you need so that you can decide how you want to go about the sponsorship program. Our experienced and knowledgeable consultants will assess your personal situation and develop a unique plan tailored to your needs so that your immigration goals can be met and you can be reunited with your family sooner. We will complete all the paperwork from beginning to end, while providing you with step-by-step updates to ensure that you are aware of exactly what is going on with your case and at what stage the process is in.
