Dependent Child Sponsorship
Dependent Child Sponsorship
Sponsor Your Dependent Child!
You can sponsor your dependent children, both biological and adopted, to come to Canada if you are a Canadian citizen or a Permanent Resident. However, if you, the parent sponsoring, were already a Canadian citizen when your child was born, you will most likely have to apply for proof of citizenship.
You can sponsor your dependent child under the age of 21 (as long as they don’t have a spouse or common-law partner) or older (if they are financially dependent on you due to a physical or mental condition).
Permanent residence applicants have the right to include a dependent child in their application as accompanying family members. However, their circumstances do not always allow them to do so when applying for Immigration. Should this be your case, and your children are still outside Canada, you can apply through this stream to bring them to Canada as Permanent Residents.
If you didn’t declare your child at the time you applied for your own permanent residency, you may still be able to sponsor them under certain circumstances.
Either parent, the father or the mother, or both can sponsor their child. However, during the application process, the relationship between the sponsor and the children to be sponsored will be assessed by Immigration Canada to corroborate the claimed relationship.
Should the sponsor be residing in Quebec, additional conditions will apply. Please check here for further details.

It will depend on the program, the country of residence and the processing times in effect by the Canadian immigration offices when the application is submitted. You can find the approximate current processing times here.
Please keep in mind that these processing times are estimates. Sometimes offices process cases, prioritizing applications depending on several factors. Also, at times applications are forwarded to other processing centers that may have a lower work backlog, thus, reducing processing times considerably. If your application was not professionally prepared or contains errors or omissions, the processing times will be increased for several months or even years.
