Family reunification lies at the heart of Canada’s immigration policy. Alberta, as one of Canada’s most immigrant-friendly provinces, places great emphasis on keeping families together. Understanding the nuances of family sponsorship in Alberta is crucial for those seeking to reunite with their loved ones in the province.

Eligibility for Family Sponsorship:

To be eligible for family sponsorship in Alberta, the sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident living in the province. They must also demonstrate the financial capacity to support their sponsored family members.

Sponsored Family Members:

Under family sponsorship, individuals can sponsor their spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, parents, and grandparents. It’s important to note that sponsors commit to financially supporting their family members for a specific period.

Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents:

The Super Visa is a special provision that allows parents and grandparents to visit their family members in Canada for extended periods. This visa is particularly valuable for those who wish to spend significant time with their loved ones without the need for frequent visa renewals.
