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.
If you are a permanent resident of Canada and your family lives in another country, family visa allows your family members to come to Canada, live with you and to work or study. This visa gives them permanent residence in Canada. You can apply for family visa and permanent residence for your family members even if they are living with you in Canada temporarily. During this process your partner can also apply for Open Work Permit. If you fulfill all other conditions after certain period of time you can apply for Canadian citizenship.
This visa allows you to stay permanently in Canada.
Application for family visa consists of two parts:
For a partner visa, both applications are being sent at the same time to Canada’s Home Affairs service.
Visa fee for family visa application is 1.125CAD for a partner and 235CAD per child. The average processing time is around 12 months.

Last year Elena helped me to enroll the University of the Queensland, she was so responsible person and helped me with the whole procedure.
Elena helped us to fulfill our dreams so I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of studying and living in Australia. She was extremely professional during the whole procedure and visa application so it was my pleasure to work with her.
I am really satisfied with Elena's professional approach. Her support, counseling and commitment were on a very high level through the whole process of gathering documents and visa application.
Future Option met all our expectations. My husband and I were not sure whether it would be possible to get a student visa. However, they made every effort to ensure that all documents were in the best order. Even now, when we got the visa, Future Option team provides us support and is available for all the questions we have. Best recommendations for this agency!
I would like to thank Elena on the amazing service she gave me through the whole process. This was huge step for me and in every moment I had Elena's full support.
Very professional, quick in processing all documents, available on the phone and via email at any time, responsive and pleasant to work with!
