Children or Other Dependents Sponsorship
for the Family Sponsorship
Children or Other Dependents Sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their children and other dependents.
You can sponsor your children as a dependent only if they meet these two criteria:
- At least 18 years old
- A citizen or permanent resident of Canada or a registered Indian in the Canadian Indian Act
- Prove that you are not benefiting from social assistance unless for the reason of disability
- Financially capable to support and provide for yourself, your spouse, and even your spouse’s dependent children’s basic needs if applicable
You can sponsor your children as a dependent only if they meet these two criteria:
- Under the age of 22 years old
- Do not have a spouse or common-law partner
However, if your children are above 22 years old, they will qualify as dependent children if they are:
- Not capable to support themselves financially due to conditions with mental and physical
- Still dependent on the financial support of their parents ever since before they reach 22 years old
WHO CAN YOU SPONSOR?
sponsor your loved ones
YOUR SPOUSE OR PARTNER AND THEIR CHILD
You can sponsor your spouse/partner and a child who is either your spouse/partner’s child or your child together in Canada. Hence, in the sponsorship application, your spouse/partner is the principal applicant while the child is the dependent.
Your OWN CHILD
You can sponsor your child outside Canada in the country if you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada. Hence, if you are only sponsoring your child, he/she will become the principal applicant.
