Family Class immigrants are people who are sponsored by a close relative to come to Canada. Sponsors must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents who are 18 years of age or older. They must show that they are willing and able to provide financial help and support to the immigrating relative. Applications are evaluated on the sponsor’s ability to look after the relative, and on the relative’s ability to successfully settle in Canada.

Who can be a Family Class applicant?

 

Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), a close relative can be:

1. A spouse, common-law or conjugal partner
 

People are considered to be spouses if their marriage is recognized as being legal in the country in which it took place and is legal according to Canadian federal law. Common-law partners include people living together in a conjugal relationship for at least one year, but who are not legally married. Conjugal relationships include couples who are not legally married and who do not live together, but where there is a significant degree of commitment between them and where their relationship is intended to be permanent. For example, conjugal partners may support each other financially and emotionally, may have children together, and may present themselves as a couple to the public. Spouses and common-law and conjugal partners may be of the opposite-sex or same-sex.

2. Dependent children, including adopted children, must be:
 

Under the age of 19 and not have a spouse or common-law partner, or depend substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 19 and be unable to provide for themselves due to a medical or physical condition.
