Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents are eligible to sponsor family class members who wish to immigrate to Canada through the following programs:
Spousal and Common-Law Partner Sponsorship
A Canadian Citizen and/or Permanent Resident may sponsor a spouse, common-law partner, or Conjugal Partner for Canadian permanent residence under this program.
Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship
Canadian Citizens and/or Permanent Residents may sponsor their parents and grandparents to Canada as Permanent Residents through this program.
Parent and Grandparent Super Visa
The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa allows the parents and grandparents of Canadian Citizens and/or Permanent Residents to come to Canada as visitors. The super visa is a multiple-entry visa valid for 10 years.
