Foreigners and Thais who are spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent children of Canadian citizens are eligible to immigrate to Canada as permanent residents. Application for Family Class sponsorship is done either outside or inside of Canada.

  2. Must be 18 years of age or older
  3. You must meet certain income requirements
  4. You must have no criminal records

Eligibility Requirements of the Dependents

A son or daughter is dependent if the child:

Grounds for Inadmissibility

Sponsor: You may not be eligible to be a sponsor if you:

  • sponsored someone in the past but failed to support the person
  • abandoned a court-ordered support order like alimony
  • received government financial assistance
  • were convicted of a heinous criminal offence
  • are currently in jail
  • are bankrupt

Beneficiary: You may not be eligible to be sponsored if:

  • You are under 16 years of age
  • You are a bigamist (legally married person who marries another)
  • You took another partner during a separation of one year from your sponsor
  • Your sponsor previously sponsored another spouse and three years have not passed

Visa Application Process

The application process involves two steps:

  1. The Canadian citizen or permanent resident must apply to sponsor their spouse, partner or dependents.
  2. The spouse, partner, or dependent children must then apply for permanent residence.

The applications for both sponsorship and permanent residence are done simultaneously. There are two steps to process the application forms:

  1. The sponsorship application is processed by the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Mississauga, Ontario (for family members living outside Canada), or the CPC in Vegreville, Alberta (for family members living inside Canada).
  2. If you are an eligible sponsor, the permanent residence application is sent to the appropriate Canadian visa office.

The Canadian Embassy in Bangkok does not accept applications for immigration to Canada so the application for permanent residence in Canada will be processed by the Regional Processing Centre at the Canadian High Commission in Singapore.
