If you are an Indian who wishes to bring your spouse, partner or kid to Canada are in luck! Canada is planning to welcome more than 100,000 new immigrants every year under the family sponsorship program. Little did many Indians know, that this program is one of the major pillars of Canadian immigration, enabling candidates to immigrate to Canada and apply for Canada PR from India.

If you are eligible, you can then easily sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, or dependent child for Canada PR by meeting these requirements:
1. You should be willing to support them financially.
2. You must ensure they don’t require any social help from the government.
