The pathway to obtaining permanent residence in Canada through family ties. Close relatives in Canada act as immigration \u201csponsors,\u201d i.e., persons who help with moving to the country and obtaining a permanent residence permit. This pathway is very popular, especially among Ukrainians. Ukrainians who start a family in Canada are eligible to participate in this program if their spouse already has permanent resident or citizen status.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Family Sponsorship is a way to immigrate to Canada through family ties for a wide range of relatives. Among those who most often obtain permanent residency under the program are: spouses, civil partners or cohabitants, children, grandparents, and same-sex partners. In certain exceptional circumstances, it may also be possible to sponsor aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, brothers or sisters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Specifically Family Sponsorship Immigration is the fastest way to immigrate to Canada. Many Ukrainians have close relatives in Canada, marry Canadians, and this opens the way to obtaining permanent residency in Canada.<\/p>\n
In general, these requirements are the same for a Canadian relative who wants to help, whether it is immigration to Canada for young families, parents, or partners. There are no special requirements for the family member who is moving. It will be necessary to undergo a medical examination, confirm the absence of criminal convictions<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n Any ordinary Canadian who sincerely wants to help their relatives move to Canada and obtain permanent resident status can do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n Family sponsorship in Canada is a general term for several immigration pathways for relatives of various degrees of kinship.<\/p>\n The easiest process is for a husband, wife, their children (even from previous marriages), partner (and his or her children). The Canadian government recognizes various types of relationships: official marriages, cohabitation, partnerships. Relationships do not depend on sex or gender. The main requirement is that the relationship is genuine and not fictitious.\u00a0<\/p>\n Reunification with parents for Ukrainians of Canada is possible, as well as with grandparents. They are eligible to register among those wishing to participate in the selection process. After successful selection, the pathway to applying for an immigration visa is opened. The process can take quite a long time. An alternative option is to open a super visa<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n In exceptional circumstances, a relative in Canada can provide immigration support for brothers, sisters, adopted children, and nephews. This pathway is possible if the immigration candidate is underage and has no family left (for example, if they are completely orphaned).\u00a0<\/p>\n In exceptional circumstances, a single person may provide immigration support to relatives who are more distant family members if they have no children and no other relatives in Canada.<\/p>\n Children from previous marriages or adopted children are also eligible for PR through family immigration in Canada. For children from previous marriages, immigration requires permission from the other parent from the prior relationship.<\/p>\n The process of submitting and reviewing an application for immigration under the family immigration program in Canada is essentially no different from others:<\/p>\n It is worth remembering that this process applies to the English-speaking provinces of Canada. For the province of Quebec, there are a number of additional conditions.<\/p>\n A relative in Canada and the person who intends to immigrate must submit documents for consideration.\u00a0<\/p>\n List of common documents for family immigration:<\/p>\n The sponsor additionally submits documents on financial status: tax declarations, a reference letter from the employer, bank statements, etc.<\/p>\n The sponsored person also additionally submits documents on military service (if any).<\/p>\n Family sponsorship in Canada is one of the easiest ways to obtain Canadian PR. It is noteworthy that there are no requirements regarding employment or knowledge of English for a family member who is immigrating. Instead, close attention is paid to verifying the validity of family relationships and the financial ability of the relative to provide support.<\/p>\n MV Group specialists analyze each individual situation in detail and check for compliance with the criteria. Most importantly, we prepare the case and evidence, thinking through the steps in advance so that during the application review, there are no additional checks or doubts about the authenticity of the relationship or family ties.<\/p>\n This approach allows the entire process to run smoothly, without unnecessary stress, and without long waits for results due to additional checks.<\/p>\n Our specialists prepare the application, add comprehensive evidence of the relationship, provide adequate support for the case, and obtain a positive result.\u00a0<\/p>\n Proof of family ties depends on the type of relationship. It can be either official documents (e.g., marriage certificates) or unofficial ones. The latter include joint photos, correspondence in messengers, social media pages, etc.<\/p>\n It is worth mentioning separately that family ties, if they are not directly traceable, must be explained and described in detail.\u00a0<\/p>\n The processing time of the application depends on the type of family relationship.<\/p>\n If we are talking about husbands, wives, or partners, then the approximate processing time is 1-1.5 years.<\/p>\n If it concerns the sponsorship of parents, grandparents, then the waiting time for selection can take several years, and then additional time for processing the application.<\/p>\n Special cases of family reunification in Canada require more time for verification, and the review time can take 2-3 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are no special or exceptional conditions or requirements for Ukrainians. Meeting the general criteria of the program opens the way for immigration support from a relative.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is important that all documents are properly prepared and that evidence of the authenticity of the relationship is provided. This will greatly simplify the review of the application.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are two types of difficulties that may arise during the application review process.<\/p>\n The first type includes incorrectly prepared documents, incorrectly paid government fees, and failure to meet the eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n The second type: verification of the sincerity of intent and the authenticity of family ties. This type of difficulty depends on the completeness of the evidence provided of family relationships, the validity of the family relationships, etc.<\/p>\n Insufficient evidence, incorrect application procedure, failure to meet the criteria \u2013 all of these can lead to delays in processing, additional requests, and sometimes even refusals. Therefore, working with experienced immigration specialists will greatly simplify the entire process.<\/p>\n Yes, under exceptional circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>\n The most common case is when a minor brother or sister becomes an orphan. Such a child can move to Canada for permanent residence if they have no other relatives.<\/p>\n Another case is when a brother or sister is the only relative of a Canadian citizen or PR holder. These are exceptional cases, but not common practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yes, the entire process can be started and completed in Ukraine. The application is submitted online and then processed. After the successful completion of the process, an immigration visa is issued, and a PR card is provided upon arrival in Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The pathway to obtaining permanent residence in Canada through family ties.
