Bringing Parents and Grandparents to Canada

The sponsorship process for parents and grandparents involves several steps:

1. Expression of Interest (EOI): Sponsors must first submit an online form to express their interest in sponsoring their parents or grandparents. IRCC holds periodic draws to invite potential sponsors to apply.

2. Submit Sponsorship Application: Once invited, sponsors submit a sponsorship application to IRCC, demonstrating their eligibility and relationship with the sponsored person(s).

3. Submit Permanent Residence Application:The sponsored parent or grandparent must also submit an application for permanent residence in Canada, including required forms and supporting documents.

4. Processing and Approval:IRCC reviews the applications to ensure they meet all requirements. Once approved, the sponsored parent or grandparent receives permanent resident status and can join their family in Canada.
