Sponsorship
Distance should not define your family. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be able to bring the people you love to Canada permanently.
Family Sponsorship Overview
Bringing your family
to Canada.
Family Sponsorship is one of the most meaningful pathways in Canada’s immigration system. It allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor eligible family members for permanent residence.
The process usually involves two parts: the sponsor must qualify, and the person being sponsored must also meet eligibility and admissibility requirements.
At Hakam Immigration Services, we help families understand the right sponsorship category, prepare strong evidence, and avoid common mistakes that can delay or weaken an application.
Who you can sponsor
Different family members.
Different requirements.
Spouse, Common-Law & Partner Sponsorship
Sponsoring a spouse or partner is one of the most emotionally important applications a family may submit. IRCC closely reviews whether the relationship is genuine and whether the application evidence is complete and consistent.
Includes legally married spouses, common-law partners, and certain partner situations where eligibility can be established.
We help organize relationship proof, timelines, communication records, photos, financial ties, and supporting declarations.
Dependent Children
Dependent children may be included in a family sponsorship process or sponsored separately, depending on the family situation and immigration history.
Eligibility depends on age, dependency, family situation, and whether the child is included as part of another application or sponsored separately.
Birth certificates, custody documentation, adoption documentation, and family records may become important depending on the case.
Parents & Grandparents
Sponsoring parents or grandparents for permanent residence can be meaningful but competitive. Many families also consider Super Visa planning while waiting for a permanent sponsorship opportunity.
Parents and grandparents sponsorship may involve income requirements, program openings, and limited invitation opportunities.
A Super Visa may be a useful temporary option while a permanent sponsorship route is unavailable or pending.
Other Eligible Relatives
In limited circumstances, certain other relatives may be sponsored. This category is often misunderstood and requires careful eligibility review before taking action.
Eligibility can depend on whether the sponsor has other eligible close family members in Canada or abroad.
We confirm whether this category is realistic and identify other possible options if it is not available.
How sponsorship works
Two applications.
One family goal.
Confirm sponsor eligibility
The sponsor must meet eligibility requirements, including status in Canada, age, residence, and financial obligations where applicable.
Confirm the sponsored person’s eligibility
The family member must qualify under the right sponsorship category and must not be inadmissible to Canada.
Prepare sponsor and applicant documents
Both sides need complete forms, identity documents, relationship evidence, financial records, and supporting documents.
Submit to IRCC
The application must be organized, complete, and consistent before submission to reduce avoidable delays or return risk.
Respond to updates and requests
The sponsored person may need biometrics, medical exams, police certificates, or additional evidence depending on the case.
Receive permanent residence
Once approved, the sponsored family member can move forward as a permanent resident and reunite with family in Canada.
“The paperwork is temporary. The reunion is permanent.”
At Hakam Immigration Services, we understand that behind every sponsorship file is a family waiting to be together. We treat your case with care, urgency, and attention because this is never just paperwork.
