NAIN (North American Immigration Network) assists individuals to achieve sponsorship in Canada from all around the world.

Canadian Citizens and Permanent residents living in Canada, 19 years of age or older, may sponsor close family members who wish to immigrate to Canada. Sponsors must agree to support the family member and accompanying dependents for 10 years, to help them settle in Canada.

• Spouses
• Parents, grandparents
• Fiancé
• Dependent children, including adopted children
• Children under 19 whom the sponsor intends to adopt
• Brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren who are orphans unmarried and under age 19
• Any other relative if the sponsor has none of the above family members either in Canada or abroad.

• Under the age of 19 and unmarried,
• A full-time student since the age of 19 and financially supported by the parents,
  
  or
  
  
• Financially supported by the parents because of a disability.

If you want to sponsor any of the above family members, you will have to meet certain income requirements. If you have previously sponsored relatives who have applied for welfare, you may not be allowed to sponsor another person. This is an obligation to be taken seriously. In addition to signing an undertaking to sponsor, you must sign an agreement with your relative.
