What are the documents required for

Canada Dependent Visa?

Every year, hundreds and thousands of immigrants migrate to Canada. Sometimes, they need to
migrate alone leaving their families behind in other country. However, there are some countries like
Canada which facilitate the families of immigrants to live together. Dependent visa for Canada allows
every immigrant who is living in the country either on Canada PR visa or temporary visa to call their
family dependents to accompany them there.

Under the dependent visa, the following relations can be invited to Canada –

 Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner

 Dependent (biological/adopted) children under 21 years of age without a spouse, common-law
partner, or conjugal partner and must be financially dependent on the parent
 Children aged 21 years or more who are unable to financially support them due to their physical
or mental health condition
 Parents or grandparents
 Adopted child
 Orphan brother or sister, nephew or niece, grandson or granddaughter aged less than 18 years
and without any spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner

Dependent visa is for sponsoring relatives to Canada just for stay; as if they are interested in studying
and working in Canada, they need to apply for study and Canada work permit separately.
