Home / Programs / Family Sponsorship / Child Sponsorship
The family sponsorship program enables Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their child, or other dependents, for Canadian permanent residence, facilitating family reunification. To qualify as a dependent child for sponsorship, the individual must be unmarried, not in a common-law relationship, and under 22 years old. Children over 22 may still qualify if they cannot support themselves due to a physical or mental condition.
Sponsorship eligibility requirements for both the sponsor and the sponsored child include:
- The sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Canada.
- The sponsor must be at least 18 years old.
- The sponsor must not be imprisoned, charged with a serious offense, or bankrupt.
Parents must provide evidence of their relationship with the child, such as a birth or adoption certificate. During the final stages of an adoption, parents may sponsor an adopted child.
The province of Quebec has specific financial requirements.
