Canada Family Class Visas
If you are a permanent resident of Canada or have a citizenship of Canada and are 18 years of age or above, the government gives you the opportunity to sponsor any one of your family members to become permanent Canadian residents under what is now one of the most popular visas: the Canada family class visa.
The Canada family class visa has a lot of benefits, making it the preferred choice of many. The benefits include the freedom of the migrant to choose from a variety of employment choices without any bindings, unlike that of the business or work visa it gives you the right to be able to sponsor an adopted child, parents and grandparents.
In order to be able to sponsor someone a few requirements have to be met. Before you think of sponsoring someone, you may want to make sure that you are financially stable, as you will be responsible for supporting them financially in Canada.
Moreover, if you are sponsoring a minor, you must support him/her for the next 10 years or until he/she turns 25, whichever comes first. There should not be any criminal records and previous cases of bankruptcy as per the Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
