How family members immigrate to Canada and the types of reunion immigration
Parent/Grandparent Sponsored Visa
The Parent or Grandparent Sponsorship Program has a specific application period each year, usually in January of each year. If you miss this application period, you will have to wait another year before submitting your application. Therefore, it is very important to prepare the required documents as early as possible in order to avoid unexpected delays in the application. Once the application is successful, the parents or grandparents can have Canadian permanent residency.
When making an application, applicants (i.e. children or grandchildren) need to make a commitment and provide proof that they are capable and willing to take care of their parents or grandparents, and can provide the basic daily needs of the dependants to avoid them Apply for social assistance provided by government social welfare agencies.

Parent and Child Reunion Immigrant Visa Application Process
1. Our immigration lawyers will first collect brief information from those who intend to apply, and then evaluate whether they are eligible for this visa application.
2. The applicant submits a letter of intent for sponsoring parent/grandparent/child/spouse reunification on the official website of the Canadian Immigration Service.
3. The immigration office draws lots and then sends an invitation letter to the winner. The Immigration Bureau currently uses a random lottery method to automatically select the winners of the annual quota from applicants who have submitted letters of intent. Immigrant places are not on a first-come, first-served basis.
4. Successful applicants need to submit complete application materials, such as proof of kinship, financial proof, etc. After the immigration office checks the information and is eligible, it will issue an Invitation to Apply (ITA) letter to the applicant. The guarantor will then need to pass a medical examination and provide a certificate of no criminal record.
5. After the application is approved by the immigration bureau, the immigration bureau will mail the maple leaf card to the applicant. The sponsored person needs to enter Canada within the specified time.
