Family Visa Canada
To allow families to share their lives together and live together, Canada allows the provision of a Family Visa, also known as Dependent Visa. Under this facility, eligible residents of Canada who are over the age of 18 can invite their spouses, children, parents, partners, and grandparents living out of Canada to stay with them. Using dependent visa services, you can help your family migrate to Canada and live together.
Your dependents will be able to even work or study in Canada after getting the requisite permits. The relations that you can apply a visa for are mentioned below:
- Spouse or common-law partner or conjugal partner
- Children under the age of 22
- Dependent parents and grandparents
- Siblings or close relatives
- Children you adopted while being a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
