Family Class Sponsorship 2026
Family Class Sponsorship is the IRCC program that lets Canadian citizens and permanent residents aged 18 or older sponsor eligible relatives for permanent residence. Eligible relatives include a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, parents and grandparents (through the annual Parents and Grandparents Program), and, in limited cases, an orphaned sibling, niece, nephew, or grandchild under 18. A sponsor signs a financial undertaking that lasts from 3 to 20 years depending on the relative.
What is Family Sponsorship
Family Sponsorship is a Canadian immigration program that allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their eligible family members to come and live in Canada as permanent residents. Through this program, you can help your spouse, common-law partner, dependent children, parents, and other eligible relatives join you in Canada, where they can enjoy all the benefits of permanent residency.
Who Can Immigrate Through the Family Sponsorship Program?
- Spouse or Common-Law Partner
- Dependent Children
- Parents and Grandparents (2026: new PGP intake paused — Super Visa available)
- Orphaned Siblings, Nephews, Nieces, or Grandchildren

*In some specific circumstances, you may sponsor another relative, such as a sibling, niece, nephew, or grandchild, if you have no other eligible relatives in Canada or abroad who could be sponsored.
