Family Sponsorship is Canada’s immigration program dedicated to bringing families together. Sponsor is a family member (partner or a parent) who is a permanent resident of Canada and this visa is intended for their spouse or de facto partner and their children who are not permanent residents.

The Government of Quebec has special regulation for family visas which, under the same stream, allows not only previously mentioned sponsorships, but also sponsorships of a brother, sister and other close relatives.
