Sponsorship Letter Services for Immigration Law
A sponsorship letter is a critical component of the Canadian immigration process, particularly for family-class immigration. This document serves as an official agreement where the sponsor commits to supporting their relative or spouse during their initial years in Canada. At NLCI, we specialize in preparing sponsorship letters that meet all legal requirements, ensuring that your application process is smooth and your commitment to support is clearly documented.
What is a Sponsorship Letter?
A sponsorship letter is a formal agreement in which a Canadian citizen or permanent resident agrees to provide financial support to a family member or spouse immigrating to Canada. The sponsorship ensures that the sponsored individual’s basic needs, such as housing, food, and other essentials, are taken care of while they transition to permanent residency.
Why is a Sponsorship Letter Important?
The sponsorship letter is a legally binding agreement and a key requirement in family-class immigration. It demonstrates the sponsor’s financial responsibility toward the immigrant, helping the Canadian government ensure that the sponsored individual will not require social assistance during the sponsorship period.
Depending on the relationship between the sponsor and the immigrant, the financial commitment varies:
-
Spouse, Common-Law Partner, or Conjugal Partner: Sponsors must provide financial support for 3 years from the date the sponsored individual becomes a permanent resident.
-
Dependent Children Under 22 Years of Age: Sponsors must support the child for 10 years from the date of permanent residency or until the child turns 25, whichever comes first.
-
Dependent Children Over 22 Years of Age: Sponsors must provide financial support for 3 years after the individual becomes a permanent resident.
-
Other Relationships: For family members who do not fall into the categories above, sponsors must provide financial support for 10 years from the date of permanent residency.
Even if the sponsored individual becomes a Canadian citizen before the sponsorship period ends, the terms of the agreement remain binding.
