Parent Sponsorship

If you wish to bring your relatives to Canada, then it is possible through various sponsorship programs. People who want to bring their parents and their grandparents to live with them in Canada can do it by using Parent Sponsorship.

Many permanent Canadian residents want to relocate their parents or grandparents to Canada to live with them. The candidates have to fill out an online interest to sponsor form to mark their interest. The Canadian federal government has provided an opportunity through this program to the country’s residents to sponsor the relocation of parents or grandparents. This program is conducted only once a year. The 2021 intake will accept 30,000 applications which is a record high number for this program.
