The Canadian government recognizes the importance of having your family with you in Canada and it is with this in mind that they created the Canadian Family Class. The Canadian Family Class allows you to sponsor certain family members to Canada once you have become a permanent resident of Canada or if you are a Canadian citizen.

If you are a temporary resident, you will not be able to sponsor a family member for permanent residence, but your spouse or dependent children may be eligible for their own temporary resident visas to accompany you to Canada.
