Adopted Children Sponsorship

Sponsorship of Adopted Children and Other Relatives

Index

Intro

Sponsorship of Adopted Children and other relatives is a program that allows family members living in different countries to reunite and live together in Canada. The program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their children from abroad to Canada and make them permanent residents. Adopted children, whether natural or adopted, can become permanent residents of Canada and live with their parents.

In order to be eligible for sponsorship, a child must meet the definition of dependency:

  1. a natural or adopted child of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
  2. Unmarried or in a cohabiting relationship
  3. Under 22 years of age.

Children over the age of 22 may also qualify as dependents if they meet the following two requirements.:

  2. From before the age of 22, they have relied on their parents for financial support.


Low Income Cut-Offs

If the sponsor lives outside of Quebec, he or she must have earned 1.3 times the Low income cut-offs (LICO) for each of the three years prior to the application, including the immigration process. 30% increase is not required in 2020 due to the epidemic.

FAQ

Q: How to calculate family size?

A: The amount of LICO each year depends on the number of family members. For example:
Family member of sponsors: sponsor + spouse = 2 persons
Adopted Child:1 person (If only 1 person is adopted)
Family size = 2 + 1 = 3 persons

Q: What is the processing time for it?

A: please check our weekly processing time updates.
