Our Company’s Immigration Law Group Of Professionals – Assisting Clients Reunite Their Family
The purpose of the class of immigration known as the “Family Class” is to be able to help ensure that families are together. Our company’s Immigration Law practitioners will help you in reuniting your family. We assist with the completion and submission of documents and forms to the Immigration authorities. Our aim is to be able to assist you throughout the entire immigration procedure.
The following relatives are eligible under the Family Class: spouse, conjugal partner, common-law partner, dependent child, adopted child, grandparent, parent, or an orphaned family member under 18 years of age who is the sponsor’s sister or brother, nephew, niece, adopted child or grandchild. In this nation, in order to reunite a family a sponsor is needed. The sponsor should be at least eighteen years of age and a citizen of this particular nation or a permanent resident residing here. The sponsor should file a sponsorship application to Citizenship and Immigration. Depending on the kind of relationship between the family member and the sponsor, a different set of requirements, supporting documents and forms are needed.
Sponsorship applications are usually processed in 8 weeks from the date of submission to the Citizenship and Immigration authorities, as long as all the required forms are completed properly, and all information and supporting documents are included.
A spouse needs to be officially married to the sponsor by the civil authorities of a nation, and must be at least 16 years old. If a marriage is legal in the nation where it took place, it is considered to be legal within Canada. A marriage certificate, given by the civil authorities of the nation where the marriage occurred, is required to prove that the sponsor and spouse are lawfully married. A divorce certificate issued by a Court should be submitted in circumstances where one of the parties was married before.
A common-law partner should have resided together with the sponsor in a conjugal relationship for a specified period of time. A common-law relationship begins on the day a couple decides to physically cohabit a house. In a common-law relationship, there is no document to prove that a couple is living together. Nevertheless, there are documents that can help to prove the existence of a common-law relationship, like for example joint bank accounts and credit cards, lease or property agreements in both names, insurance policies and documents showing the same address.
Under Family Class, a dependent child is an adopted or biological child who is below 22 years of age and has never been in a common-law relationship or married and was supported financially by the parent. The son or daughter could be more than twenty two years of age if she or he is incapable, because of a physical or mental condition, to support her or himself.
The relationships must be proven through documents given by civil authorities between the parent of the sponsored child, the grandparent, the sponsor, or an orphaned family member under 18 years of age who is the sponsor’s brother or sister, niece, nephew, grandchild, or adopted child.
