What is the income requirement for Canadian family sponsorship?
These sponsors must meet the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) required for the size of their family unit, and must also provide Canada Revenue Agency-issued Notices of Assessment (NOA) as proof that they have met the required MNI for at least three consecutive years.
Unlike most other forms of Canadian sponsorship, you do not need to demonstrate a minimum amount of income to sponsor a spouse and dependent children; but MNI is required to be shown if sponsoring parents and grandparents . However, whenever you sponsor a family member to Canada, you must sign an undertaking in which you promise to provide financial support for the basic needs of your sponsored family member. This undertaking is required for all sponsorship applications and acknowledges a sponsor’s promise to repay social assistance benefits paid to the sponsor and their family member(s) for a period of 20 years. A supplementary undertaking will need to be signed if the sponsor lives in Quebec.
The length of the undertaking depends on the category of sponsorship. For spousal sponsorship (including spouses and common-law or conjugal partners), the length of the undertaking is 3 years from the day the sponsored individual becomes a Canadian permanent resident.
Canadian citizens or permanent residents who are sponsoring their dependent children are not required to meet the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI), provided that their dependent child does not have any children of their own. If the dependent child being sponsored has dependent children of their own, the sponsor must meet the MNI required for their family unit size.
What are the types of Sponsorship?
Spouse – You can expect your spousal sponsorship application to take anywhere from 6 to 24 months to process.
Common Law partner – The spouse or partner applying for permanent residence must be at least 18 years old, and both the sponsor and the beneficiary must prove their relationship is genuine. Immigration officials have been facing spousal sponsorship cases in which the individual is just applying for permanent residence and not to be with their partner. In such cases, the individual may be denied. Therefore, it is important to only enter under this class if the intent is sincere. A common-law partner applying under this class must live with their sponsor in Canada for a minimum of 1 year
Father, Mother or Grandparent – You can sponsor your own parents, related by blood or adoption. In case of divorce or separation, you can sponsor your parents’ spouses, or conjugal or common-law partners.
Dependent Child – When sponsoring your child, you are obligated and agree to make sure your child is supported financially and does not need social assistance from the Canadian government. To become a sponsor in Canada, you must first meet a number of requirements that apply to all cases, whether you are sponsoring a child, spouse, or partner.
A child for Adoption – Children adopted outside Canada may be sponsored to come to Canada if informed consent has been given by both of your child’s biological parents (if they are living) and your child has been legally adopted outside Canada. Adopted children must complete a medical exam before being issued a permanent resident visa.
Orphaned Sibling, Niece or Nephew – You can sponsor an orphaned brother, sister, nephew, niece or grandchild only if they meet the conditions that they’re related to you by blood or adoption, both their mother and father passed away, they’re under 18 years of age, and they’re single.
