With its straightforward, caring advice, this handbook streamlines the process and gives your company a human-touch foundation to empower potential sponsors and their families.

 

1. Who Can Sponsor: Your Checklist of Eligibility
• Have a minimum age of 18 and be a registered Indian under the Indian Act, a Canadian citizen, or a permanent resident. PR holders are required to live in Canada while applying for sponsorship.

• You won't be able to apply if you receive social assistance (unless you have a disability), have criminal convictions, are facing removal, owe money on your immigration debts or child support, or are bankrupt.

 

Bottom line: Confirm qualifications early to avoid disappointment later.

 

2. Who Can Sponsor: There Are Various Types of Families
• Common-law spouses, partners in a marriage, and spouses
Photos, messages, and shared leases are examples of documentary proof that is very effective.

• Children who are dependent
younger than 22, single, or older than 22, and financially dependent because of a disability.
• Grandparents and parents
The Parent & Grandparent Program (PGP) is the only program with sponsorship windows, and each year there is fierce competition.
• Orphaned nieces, nephews, and siblings
In some humane situations, eligible.

 

  • 3. Financial Assistance: Maintaining Your Sponsorship Agreement
    • To guarantee they provide their sponsorees with financial support, all sponsors sign a legal undertaking.
    • Different minimum income requirements apply:

    o Spouses and dependents: There is no minimum, but evidence of support capacity is needed.
    Parents and grandparents are required to have earned less than Canada's Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) for the previous three years.
    • The duration of the undertakings is three years for spouses, ten years (or until age twenty-five) for dependent children, twenty years for parents or grandparents, and ten years for other family members.
