FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about family sponsorship applications.

Processing times vary by country and sponsorship category. Spouse and dependent child applications generally receive priority processing, taking approximately 12-24 months in most countries. Parent and grandparent sponsorships typically take longer, often 24-36 months or more. Factors affecting processing times include application volume, completeness of documentation, background check requirements, and country-specific procedures. Our consultants provide up-to-date estimates based on current processing trends.

Income requirements vary by country and depend on your family size, including the person being sponsored. Most countries require sponsors to meet or exceed the minimum income threshold (often based on poverty line measures) to ensure you can support your family member without relying on public assistance. For example, Canada uses the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) plus 30%, while the US uses 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Our experts provide detailed income requirement guidance specific to your situation.

In most countries, you must be a citizen or permanent resident to sponsor family members. Some countries allow permanent residents to sponsor spouses and dependent children immediately, while sponsorship of parents and other family members may require citizenship. If you're still on a temporary visa or in the process of obtaining permanent residence, you generally cannot sponsor family members. However, in some cases, family members can be included in your own immigration application as dependents.

If your sponsorship application is rejected, the decision letter will specify the reasons for refusal. Depending on the grounds for rejection, you may have options to appeal the decision, request reconsideration, or submit a new application addressing the issues. Common reasons for rejection include insufficient income, inadequate relationship proof, medical inadmissibility, or past immigration violations. Our experts can assess your specific situation and recommend the best course of action following a refusal.

In most countries, family members who receive permanent residence through sponsorship have the same rights to work and study as other permanent residents. They can typically access the labor market without restrictions and enroll in educational institutions. Some countries may offer open work permits to spouses while their sponsorship application is being processed. Family members sponsored on a temporary basis may have more limited work and study rights, depending on the specific visa category and conditions.
