Canada - Family & Partner - Family-Based Provincial Nominee Visa

The Family-Based Provincial Nominee Visa allows a family member to join a sponsor in Canada if that sponsor is a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen.

If you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, you can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent child (including adopted child) or other eligible relative (such as a parent or grandparent) to become a permanent resident.

If you sponsor a relative to come to Canada as a permanent resident, you are responsible for supporting your relative financially when he or she arrives. As a sponsor, you must make sure your spouse or relative does not need to seek financial assistance from the government.
