Family Immigration:
Family Class Immigrants are sponsored for a Canadian Immigrant
Visa by a close relative who is either a Canadian citizen or a
Canadian permanent resident. The Canadian relative is known as
the Sponsor. To qualify as a Family Class Immigrant, an
applicant must be the Canadian Sponsor's: spouse; or fianc(e);
or parent or grandparent; or dependent child ; or orphaned
brother, sister, nephew, niece, or grandchild -- under 19 and
unmarried.
Also included are children under 19 who are either orphaned or
placed with a child welfare authority for adoption and who the
Sponsor intends to adopt. If the Sponsor has no relative as
listed above and no relatives who are Canadian citizens or
Canadian permanent residents, he or she may sponsor one other
relative. |
