The most common reason people tend to migrate is to obtain and provide a better standard of living to their families. The Dependent Permit allows the immigrants to lead a happy life with their families and loved ones. It enables professionals, teachers, permanent residents, and others to relocate their families from their home country.

Syeda Immigration guides you with all the paths required for the Dependent Permit. This helps you reunite with your family and start a new life overseas.

There are two types of dependent permit (temporary & permanent)

Temporary Permits are for candidates having work, intra-company transfer, student, and fiancé. Permanent Permits are for spouses or children between the age of 18-21 years (Make a note that it varies from country to country).

  • 1. Temporary Permits
  • 2. Permanent Permits
Immigration dependents

Spouse/partners on Temporary Dependent Permits have limited work rights based on their validity in the countries (except the U.S). Dependents granted with Permanent Residence Permits have the right to live, study and work for as long as they remain permanent residents.

Canada Parent Migration

When it comes to migration of parents of immigrants living in Canada, the country offers many options to help parents migrate to Canada.

Canada PGP program

The reunification of families has always been welcomed by Canada and the IRCC has concentrated on immigrant families being reunited in Canada. The consequence of this initiative is that more than ten thousand supported family members are accepted as Permanent Residents to come to Canada each year.

One immigration program which facilitates this is the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) which was introduced in 2011 and has been modified over the years.

The PGP is regarded as a viable method to bring a family member to the country and help in their settlement. From the government’s side, the PGP acts as strong motive for immigrants to choose Canada because it gives them the option of bringing their parents or grandparents to the country once they settle down.

Eligibility criteria for sponsors under the PGP program

According to the IRCC, Canadian nationals, permanent residents, and registered First Nations can sponsor their own parents or grandparents.

Sponsors must be 18 years of age or older, residing in Canada, and must have enough financial resources to help the individuals they choose to sponsor.

For 20 years, beginning when they become permanent residents, they need to have enough financial resources to sponsor supported family members.

Canada super visa

The Super Visa is a multiple entry visa that allows visa holders to make multiple entries to the country for up to ten years. The permit allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to visit their family and stay in Canada for up to two years.

Eligibility conditions for applicant:
  • Parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada.
  • Candidates must have a letter of invitation from their child or grandchild living in Canada.
  • Candidates must have a letter that promises financial support from their child or grandchild living in Canada during the period of stay in Canada.
