Spousal & Family Sponsorship Canada -- Reunite with Your Loved Ones

Bringing Families Together in Canada

Family comes first---and Canada understands that. The Spousal and Family Sponsorship Program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their spouse, common-law partner, dependent children, or parents and grandparents to join them in Canada.

At K7 Immigration, we specialize in making this emotional journey smooth, fast, and stress-free. Our process is managed by a licensed RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) who personally handles every case with care and attention.

What is Spousal & Family Sponsorship?

The Spousal and Family Sponsorship program is part of Canada's Family Class Immigration. It lets Canadian citizens and permanent residents sponsor eligible family members for permanent residency (PR). This program aims to keep families together, a cornerstone of Canada's immigration policy.

If you're married to, in a common-law relationship with, or in a conjugal relationship with someone who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident---or you are that citizen wanting to bring your spouse or family---this program is for you.

  • Prove that you can financially support your family member

Step 2: Gather Documentation
