Through the Parental and Grandparental visa, extended families have the opportunity to be together in Canada. Essentially a Canadian citizen or permanent resident applies to sponsor their parent or grandparent to come to Canada.

In order for the parents and grandparents to qualify for this visa, the sponsor must demonstrate that they are financially capable of supporting the parents or grandparents without accessing public funds. The applicant and their parent/grandparent must also be willing to live together in Canada.
