If your relatives become permanent residents of Canada, they will be permitted to reside, study, and work in the country. If you are at least 18 years old and a Canadian citizen or a person enrolled in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act, or a permanent resident of Canada, you can sponsor specific relatives to immigrate to Canada. In most situations, you must now provide your biometrics and a photograph after applying.
