The Family Class sponsorship program permits Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their biological and adopted children from other countries to live together as permanent residents in Canada. Experience the joy of family reunions and write a new chapter in Canadian history.
A child is classified as a dependent if he or she is unmarried, not in a common-law relationship, and under the age of 22. However, there is an exception for children over the age of 22.
Children over the age limit can be considered "over-age" dependents in certain circumstances if they have relied on their parents for financial support before attaining the age limit. Furthermore, they must be unable to sustain themselves financially due to a mental or physical illness. This exception recognizes the unusual circumstances of children who require continued assistance after reaching the standard age requirement.
As long as the dependent child being sponsored does not have any kids of their own, Canadian citizens or permanent residents are excused from achieving the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) criteria. If the dependent child has dependent children of his or her own, the MNI requirement for the size of the specific family group he or she is sponsoring must be met.

It is critical to seek precise and up-to-date information relating to your circumstances from relevant immigration and adoption authorities.
The Hague Convention safeguards the rights of children and their families. It ensures that adoption between nations is done in the best interests of the child and respects their human rights establishing cooperation between nations to prevent adoption, prevent their illegitimate children, child abduction and trafficking and ensure adequate protection. In the case of Hague adoptions, the authorities of both countries must agree to continue the adoption process. Non-Hague children may have state-dependent requirements. Adoption in the child's home country is not permitted under the Hague Convention. Provinces and territories regulate adoption procedures, following legislation implementing the Convention. Guidance may be given on compliance with the Hague Convention and its ratification by non-Contracting States.
Adopted children must undergo a medical examination before being granted a permanent residence permit. Your state or territory, or licensed adoption agency will notify you of the schedule and time of the inspection. Additionally, you will need to sign an acknowledgement of receipt of information about any of the child’s medical conditions.
