Canada grants permanent residence status to foreign nationals emigrating to join a spouse, relative or partner through the Family Class visa. The sponsoring permanent resident must be over 18 years old, must be living in Canada and willing to sponsor the family member applying.
After three years on this visa, you may apply for citizenship in your own right.
- An orphaned niece, nephew, sister, brother or grandchild
- Dependent children and adopted children
- Minors whom the sponsor intends to adopt
- Parents and grandparents
- Some other relatives in special situations.
PARENT VISA (SUPER VISA)
If you have a child or grandchild who is a legal resident of Canada, dependant visas may allow you to visit for as much as 24 months at a time. The ‘super visa’ is valid for up to 10 years and can benefit even those visitors who do not need visas to enter Canada. Please contact us to see if you qualify.
You must begin by making an application for a temporary resident visa. We can assist you with the process.
Be sure you apply early, as processing often takes a few weeks. UK Visa Xpats can help you get your visa as quickly as possible.
COMMON LAW PARTNER VISA
A Canadian resident’s same or opposite sex common law partner can qualify for a visa. The sponsor must demonstrate that they have lived with their partner continuously for at least one year. However, there are exceptions if the couple have been separated for reasons beyond their control. Contact us today and we can see if you could benefit from a common-law partner visa.
- Under 22 years old and unmarried, or
- Financially dependant on a parent and have been in secondary education since before they were 22 years old, or
- Unable to support themselves because of a medical condition.
SPOUSE VISA
