Family reunification in Canada allows permanent residents and Canadian citizens to sponsor their immediate relatives to immigrate to Canada. Eligible family members include spouses, children, parents and grandparents.

The sponsorship application process involves a series of requirements and deadlines, as well as an assessment of the sponsor's ability to support the sponsored person financially for two to ten years after immigration.

Sponsorship applications can take several months or even years, depending on the sponsored person's country of origin and the complexity of the application. Children and partners of international students and temporary workers may be eligible to come to Canada.
