Conjugal partner Sponsorship
A person outside Canada who has a binding relationship with a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident for at least one year, but could not live with their partner for reasons beyond their control may be able to be sponsored.

This visa is designed to reunite children with their Canadian parents, or to sponsor their partners dependent or adopted children who are of below the age of 19. A child who depends on the sponsor for financial or other support.
A son or daughter is a dependant if they are:

Super Visa
Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents intending to obtain temporary residence to visit their close relatives may apply for extended visitors’ visas known as Super Visas.
While this program does not guarantee permanent residence, it actually allows parents and grandparents to come and stay in Canada for periods of up to 2 years. Successful Super Visa applicants shall receive multiple–entry visitor visas which are valid for a period for up to 10 years.
In order to be eligible under this category, parents and grandparents must meet the standard requirement.

- Declaration of commitment of financial assistance from their children or grandchild residing in Canada,
- Complete a mandatory immigration medical exam
- Have a sponsor in Canada who successfully meets the minimum income requirements, and
- Prove that they have bought a Canadian health insurance for minimum one year
- Depending on the nationality, parents and/or grandparents may require a Temporary Resident Visa along with a Super Visa.
Processing Times
The advantage of applying under the Family Class Super Visa program is that processing time does take approximately 8-10 weeks. However, processing times may prolong due to incomplete form submission, missing documents and other circumstances.
Please note: The applications under Family Class Parental and Grandparents Sponsorship program will be accepted as of January 04,2017 at 8:00 a.m. EST. There is a cap on the number of applications that will be accepted and any applications received before this date shall not be accepted.
