Reunite Your Family in Canada

Expert Dependent Child Sponsorship Services by Mi Way Immigration

Canada’s family reunification program enables Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their dependent children for permanent residence. Through our specialized sponsorship services, families can navigate the complex immigration requirements and bring their children to build a secure future together in Canada.

Eligibility Requirements

Sponsor Qualifications To sponsor a dependent child, you must meet specific criteria established by IRCC:

  • Legal Status: Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada
  • Financial Responsibility: Ability to provide basic needs without social assistance
  • Undertaking Commitment: Sign undertaking to support child financially for specified period
  • No Criminal Record: Clean criminal background with satisfactory security checks
  • Previous Undertaking Compliance: Meet all obligations from previous sponsorships
  • Relationship Proof: Establish genuine parent-child relationship with supporting documentation

Dependent Child Definition Under current IRCC guidelines, a dependent child must meet these conditions:

  • Age Requirement: Under 22 years old and not married or in common-law relationship
  • Student Exception: 22 or older if enrolled in post-secondary education and financially dependent since before age 22
  • Medical Dependency: Any age if unable to support themselves due to physical or mental condition since before age 22

Why Choose Canada for Your Child

Canadian permanent residence provides your child with comprehensive benefits including access to free public healthcare, quality education from elementary through high school, and pathways to post-secondary education with domestic tuition rates. Children gain the security of permanent status while maintaining eligibility for Canadian citizenship after meeting residency requirements.
