Quick answer
Who can be sponsored for Canadian permanent residence?
A Canadian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 or over may sponsor a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent child, parent or grandparent for permanent residence. Sponsors must meet eligibility rules and sign an undertaking to provide financial support for a set period. Parent and grandparent sponsorship also requires meeting a minimum income requirement.
Quick summary
Family sponsorship allows a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to bring close relatives to Canada permanently. Spouse, partner and dependent child sponsorship has no minimum income requirement, while parent and grandparent sponsorship does and is limited by an annual intake. Sponsors sign an undertaking for a defined period, and spousal undertakings last three years. Processing times differ between inside-Canada and outside-Canada applications. Relationship evidence is central and insufficient evidence is a common refusal ground.
