Reunite with Your Children

Canada prioritizes family reunification. Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their dependent children to become permanent residents.

Happy Family

Who is a Dependent Child?

A child is considered a dependent if they meet BOTH of these requirements:

  • They are under 22 years old.
  • They do not have a spouse or common-law partner.

Children 22 years old or older qualify as dependents only if they:

  • Have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22, AND
  • Are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition.

Sponsor Requirements

  • You must be at least 18 years old.
  • Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
  • Prove you are not receiving social assistance (except for disability).
  • Sign an undertaking to provide for the child’s basic needs for 10 years, or until they turn 25, whichever comes first.

Sawubona Canada Immigration Inc. handles family sponsorship cases with the utmost care, ensuring all documentation is flawlessly prepared to bring your child to Canada without unnecessary delays.
