SPONSORSHIP
Trust the Sponsorship Lawyer with more than 30 Years of Experience for your family sponsorship application.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents in Canada are allowed to sponsor certain relatives from other countries to come to Canada as permanent residents. This family sponsorship program is designed to reunite families to settle in Canada. Spouses, common law partners, parents, grandparents and children can be sponsored. In order to sponsor parents the person doing the sponsoring must meet the minimum income requirement.
When submitting any sponsorship application you must make sure that all forms are completed properly and that supporting documentation is provided in your sponsorship application. If information is missing it is likely that your application will either be sent back or refused. Most spousal sponsorship applications take a year to a year and a half for a decision to be made. While anyone can submit a sponsorship application there are advantages to using an immigration lawyer to help with your application as the lawyer can make sure not only is the application completed correctly, but that all supporting documentation has been provided. You can sponsor someone in Canada or outside of Canada.
The advantage of sponsorship someone outside of Canada is that if the sponsorship application is refused you will have the right to appeal to the immigration appeal division. If are sponsorship application from within Canada is refused the only process of review is the Federal Court. The success rate at the immigration appeal division for sponsorship applications is much higher than the Federal Court. If your sponsorship application is refused, as well as your appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division, you have the right to do a Judicial Review at the Federal Court.
