Family Sponsorship
Get professional advice and dedicated support to sponsor your husband, wife, or partner.
Canada places a high priority on family reunification. Under the Family Class, Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their close family members, including spouses, partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents.
Types of Family Sponsorship
Spousal Sponsorship
Sponsors who are married or in a common-law relationship (living together in a marriage-like relationship for at least one year) can sponsor their spouse for permanent residence.
Applicants can apply under one of two streams, Inland or Outland Sponsorship. Inland Sponsorship is the immigration stream for spouses who are already in Canada. Under this stream the sponsored person can also apply for a work permit which allows them to work while their application is in process. Outland Sponsorship is the immigration stream for spouses who will remain outside Canada during processing of the application.
Sponsors and applicants interested in spousal sponsorship can see our Spousal Sponsorship page for further details.
Dependent Child Sponsorship
A dependent child can be sponsored by their biological or adopted parents. The definition of dependent child, is:
- Less than 22 years old, and not married or in a common-law relationship, or
- 22 years or older, and has depended substantially on the financial support of the parent before age 22, and is unable to support themselves due to a physical or mental condition
Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship
Parents and Grandparents can be sponsored through the Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP).
Sponsors need to meet the minimum necessary income (MNI) requirements. The MNI is based on the size of the family, and needs to be met in the previous three years. Both the sponsor and a co-signer can combine their incomes to meet this requirement.
Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents
An alternative to Parent and Grandparent sponsorship is the Super Visa Program. A Super Visa is a multiple entry visa which is valid for up to 10 years. It allows the holder to stay in Canada for up to 2 years at time. It is not a pathway to permanent residence, but allows the holder to visit or live with family at their convenience.
A Super Visa applicant needs to meet the general requirements for a Visitor Visa (also known as a Temporary Resident Visa) as well as carry private health insurance for at least one year. The applicant’s children (the sponsors) also need to demonstrate a minimum income that is sufficient to support the applicant.

January 21, 2022Mr. Gabriel and his team are have a wonderful service. What I love most is the attention to detail and everything was done in a timely fashion. I applied for work permit during the tail end of the pandemic. During this difficult time Mr. Gabriel was very reassuring, calming and measured in his advice. One thing for sure he was always accessible to answer any question that I had. Would definitely recommend his service to anyone.

Working with Gabriel Giauque from My Visa Partner was an incredible experience. We applied for a Study Permit and an Open Work Permit, our results came earlier than expected and everything went fast and smoothly. He cleared all our doubts since the first consultancy session and was available to answer everything that came up whenever needed. The price was fair considering the support given to us and the services they provided. We'll have no doubt to contact My Visa Partner for further needed processes.

Gabriel gave me efficient & helpful service by securing my student visa under such a short time-frame. I am happy to have made it in time for my Masters. After I applied myself and got my visa denied- I was a little demotivated, but Re-applying through Gabriel’s service really gave my studies a push ahead.

May 17, 2022Great company and service! Gabriel was the one who helped me get my Canadian visa; supported me all the way through with my application; answered my questions even the stupidest ones; made it easy to know what is required of me and what my options are; most importantly reminded me of the existing deadlines and kept everything professionally organized which in my case turned out to be a necessity😂 Have no idea how I would have coped on my own with the number of documents and forms needed to be presented for the study permit. Would definitely use his services again in the nearest future and recommend him to my friends as well!

September 5, 2021If you need help with your tourist visa, student visa or for a spouse sponsorship, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Gabriel Giauque from MyVisa Partner. This will save you a lot of time and stress. Gabriel is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the document collection so you are assured that your application will be done correctly on the first time. He is also very attentive to the small details that need to be included in each application so you are certain to have the best application possible sent to the IRCC. He's extremely calm and patient when it comes to answering his clients questions or concerns and that definitely makes a huge difference in the whole experience. We first applied for a tourist visa with another immigration company which was denied so we were sad and unmotivated at the time. We searched for another immigration agency and this is when we found Gabriel. We were very impressed by his knowledge regarding immigration matters so we decided to give it a shot and hire him. We got the visa in such a short time frame, way above our expectations! We were so happy and surprised when we received the approbation letter from the IRCC. So for all those reasons, I highly recommend Gabriel and would give 11/10 for the entire visa journey we went through together. He's definitely the best immigration agent to work with. Looking forward to continuing working with him in the future for the Canadian citizenship application. Thank you!

Obtaining Canadian Visa in the middle of a global pandemic seemed like an impossible task and a family reunion was out of reach. However as my parents retained My Visa Partner services, we were able to secure a 10 year visa. Gabriel guided us through the process and helped navigate restrictions and regulations (that were changing weekly). Great service, knowledgeable consultants, highly recommend.

Gabriel’s work ethics is amazing. It’s simply unbelievable how he handled our study permit. He was detailed and left no stone unturned, he pushed up to judicial review and he didn’t rest until we got approval. One of the best immigration agents out there.
