Sponsor a loved one

Family Sponsorship — bring them home.

Family reunification is one of the cornerstones of Canadian immigration. Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor close family members for permanent residence — spouses, partners, dependent children, and (when invited) parents and grandparents. We prepare sponsorship applications that hold up to scrutiny.

Who you can sponsor

  • Spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner — including same-sex partners, inland or outland applications.
  • Dependent children — biological or adopted, under the dependant age limits.
  • Parents and grandparents — through the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP), often supported by a Super Visa in the meantime.
  • Other relatives in specific circumstances (e.g., an orphaned relative under 18, or in rare cases the 'lonely Canadian' provision).

What makes sponsorship applications succeed

The most common refusal we see is for spouse and partner cases where the relationship's genuineness isn't well-evidenced. The application is the relationship's story — chronologically, with proof, in one coherent package.

We help build that package: a clear timeline of your relationship, evidence of cohabitation and shared life, communication history, photos, financial co-mingling, and statements from people who know you.

How Rapport Immigration helps

  • Eligibility check — are you a qualifying sponsor for the right category?
  • Choice of inland (Canada-based) vs. outland (visa office) processing.
  • Spouse Open Work Permit applications where the sponsored partner is already in Canada.
  • Complete relationship evidence packages — practical, organised, and built for IRCC review.
  • Super Visa applications as a parallel route while waiting for PGP invitations.

Frequently asked

Spouse and partner sponsorship typically takes around 12 months; parents and grandparents and other categories vary. We'll share realistic estimates for your case.

Inland sponsorship is filed when the sponsored partner is in Canada and usually pairs with an open work permit. Outland sponsorship is processed through a visa office and can sometimes be faster — we'll advise on the better choice.

Spouse, partner, and dependent child sponsorships have no minimum necessary income (other limits apply). Parents and grandparents, and the Super Visa, do require minimum income — we confirm based on your household.

Yes — inland sponsored partners can apply for an open work permit while their PR application is being processed.
