Navigating Family Sponsorship: Part 3
Welcome back to our series on family sponsorship for immigration to Canada! In Part 1 (Immigrate to Canada: A Comprehensive Guide – Guide Me Immigration), we delved into eligibility criteria and whom you can sponsor. Part 2 (Navigating the Sponsorship Process for Your Loved Ones: Part 2 – Guide Me Immigration) guided you through the application process and what to expect afterward. Now, in Part 3, we will explore how to prepare for arrival and options for obtaining an open work permit in Canada.
Be Prepared: What to Expect Upon Approval
If your family members are already in Canada, we’ll provide instructions on confirming their permanent residence status through the Permanent Residence Portal. Sometimes, an in-person interview with an immigration officer may be required.
Settling In: Services to Aid Transition
Service provider organizations across Canada offer free newcomer services to assist with job hunting, language training, school enrollment for children, and community integration. These services are invaluable for a smooth transition.
Arrival Process: What You Need to Know
Upon arrival, sponsored family members must present essential documents, including the Confirmation of Permanent Residence and valid passports or travel documents, to the border services officer. They should also disclose any funds they’re bringing into Canada.
Open Work Permit: Eligibility and Application
Spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners, and accompanying dependent children of the principal applicant may be eligible for an open work permit. To apply, ensure you meet the necessary criteria and follow the application process diligently.
Important Considerations
Before applying, ensure you have valid temporary resident status. If your application for permanent residence has been refused or withdrawn, you may not be eligible for an open work permit at this time.
Conclusion
Preparing for immigration to Canada involves careful planning and adherence to specific guidelines. Understanding the process allows you to navigate family sponsorship smoothly and embrace the exciting journey ahead.
