At DLegal Law Office, we provide full-suite legal services for Canadian citizens and permanent residents seeking to bring their spouse, common law partner, or conjugal partner to Canada. Our family reunification team assists with relationship evidence preparation, from gathering proof of cohabitation for common law relationship applications to documenting conjugal relationship barriers for couples who cannot live together.

For legally married couples, we ensure your marriage certificate and supporting documents meet IRCC requirements. We also handle complex cases, including same sex marriages, previous divorce situations, and applications where the sponsored spouse faces admissibility concerns. When applications face refusal, our lawyers are here for you to prepare appeals and represent clients before the Immigration Appeal Division and the Federal Court.

The Parent and Grandparent Program (PGP) lottery system creates uncertainty for families hoping to sponsor parents. Our immigration lawyers help clients prepare complete applications before the intake window opens, maximizing your chances of success when selected.

For parents who need to visit while awaiting permanent residency, we prepare Super Visa applications that allow extended stays of up to five years. We ensure sponsors understand and can meet the financial undertaking requirements, including income thresholds and the duration of support obligations for parent and grandparent sponsorship.

Dependent children are not automatically granted permanent residency simply because a parent is a citizen or permanent resident. However, Canada places strong emphasis on family reunification, including the sponsorship of dependent children, and Canadian citizens and permanent residents may sponsor biological or legally adopted children who are under 22 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship.

A formal sponsorship application must be submitted and approved by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The child must meet eligibility requirements, pass medical and background checks, and comply with documentation requirements, including custody and consent where applicable.

In some immigration streams (such as economic immigration), dependent children included in the principal applicant’s application may receive permanent residence at the same time as the parent. However, they must still be declared, examined, and approved. Each family’s situation is different, and legal guidance can help prevent delays or refusals.

Our Canadian immigration lawyers conduct a comprehensive review of both sponsor and applicant eligibility. For sponsors, we verify Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status and assess any factors that could disqualify sponsorship, including previous undertaking defaults, criminal convictions, or receipt of social assistance. For the sponsored person, we evaluate admissibility concerns and relationship documentation strength. You can sponsor your partner or spouse, parents, children, grandparents, in-laws, siblings, and extended relatives.

We complete a thorough financial assessment to ensure sponsors meet minimum income requirements (where applicable) and understand the legal obligation to provide child support, basic needs, and access to public health services for the sponsored family members.

Every family’s circumstances differ. We develop a customized legal strategy based on your specific relationship category, documentation availability, and any complexity factors such as previous refusal history or gaps in relationship evidence.

Our immigration law firm has comprehensive documentation checklists covering relationship proof, financial records, and identity documents. We identify potential weaknesses in your case and develop evidence gathering plans to address them before filing applications.

Our experienced legal team prepares all immigration forms with precision and care, ensuring consistency across documents and compliance with current IRCC requirements. We compile supporting evidence in organized formats to help immigration officers review your application efficiently.

Quality control review by senior lawyers catches errors before submission. We handle filing and track the receipt of your application, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. We know how important this is to you and your family and are committed to helping you achieve reunification in Canada, regardless of your situation.

Immigration applications often require a response to additional document requests or clarification from IRCC. Our lawyers handle all communication with immigration authorities on your behalf, preparing timely and complete responses.

When interviews are scheduled, we provide thorough preparation, so sponsors and applicants know what to expect. As well as monitor processing times and advocate for your case when delays exceed normal timeframes.

We have represented clients from all over the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, across the Americas, and the Middle East, and achieved successful results. Canada is a vibrant and safe nation with multi-cultural communities, and the family reunification program is one of the pillars of our immigration policies.
