The country offers sponsorship programs for citizens or permanent residents who want to bring their relatives to Canada or Australia. Some family members may be granted permanent residency in Canada or Australia under these programs. Family sponsorship is one of the most popular pathways for the applicants and their sponsors, as it allows citizens and permanent residents to easily sponsor their spouses and immediate family members to immigrate to Canada or Australia with shorter processing timelines.
Step 1: Verify your eligibility to apply as a sponsor.
Step 2: Verify that your family members are eligible to sponsor.
Step 3: For Australia, create the Immi Account and upload all your documents and those of the sponsored person.
For Canada Family Sponsorship upload the sponsor’s documents as well as the applicant’s documents together.
Step 4: Pay the fee and apply.
Step 5: Once the authorities review your application and documents they might ask for additional documents and once you fulfill those obligations you will get your PR visa.
