The duration of the bond for residents of Quebec is different from the term of the bond for the rest of Canada. For more information on sponsoring a family member in Quebec, see detailed information on the duration of the business for Quebec residents. Important: If the person you are sponsoring (or your child) has one or more children whose other parent has sole custody, you must still specify the child in the application. Even if there is a written agreement or court order to show that the sponsored person does not have custody or responsibility, you must register the child on the application and that child must undergo a medical examination. This gives the sponsored person the opportunity to sponsor their child as a member of the family class in the future if custody or living conditions may change. If a permanent resident does not specify all of their family members in their application, they risk losing their permanent resident status. Note: You are in default if your loved one is receiving social assistance from the government while the business is in operation. Note: Spousal support and child support are complex legal issues, and you should seek the help of a family law lawyer, whether you are going to court or trying to reach an agreement with your partner. A sponsorship application that does not contain a signed agreement is not complete. NOTE: Be sure to send a complete application package to prevent your application from being returned without processing. Note that sending an incomplete application package can result in significant delays in processing, as well as additional postage costs. To avoid unnecessary return of your file, we recommend that you carefully read the instructions on the website and in the forms.

The main reasons for returning an application are: – Incorrectly completed or signed application form for businesses; – Payment method or incorrect amount (see Fees and payment methods); – Missing documents or other unsigned forms. New: To provide you with better service, the response time for a rejection intention has been extended from 30 to 60 days. If your application is incomplete and does not allow the Department to make a final and fair decision, you will receive a memorandum of intent to reject it, in which you will have the opportunity to submit your comments and, if applicable, the documents that will allow you to respond to our intention to reject. The length of the adventure for Quebec residents is slightly different. The duration of service is 3 years from the date your dependent child (or the dependent child of your spouse, partner or conjugal partner) becomes a permanent resident for 22 years. If your spouse`s or partner`s dependent child has their own dependent children, you must prove that you are financially able to meet the conditions of the sponsoring company. To become a sponsor, you must promise to take care of the people you sponsor financially for a certain period of time. We call this promise a business. Once your sponsorship application has been sent to IRCC, prepare your undertaking application in advance, including the application for the sponsored person`s selection certificate with all the necessary documents so that you are ready to send it to the MIFI once you have received an invitation from IRCC to proceed. Note: If you are entering Canada on a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP), your sponsor must begin covering basic needs on the day you enter Canada. If you are already in Canada and received a TRP after you applied to live in Canada as a permanent resident, your sponsor must begin meeting basic needs on the day you receive the TRP.

Otherwise, the obligation to provide assistance begins on the day you have permanent residence, as mentioned above. The Government of Québec determines the scales used to evaluate the financial performance of the sponsor and determines the duration of the business. It shall also ensure compliance with the terms of that obligation. As a result, sponsors in Quebec are not affected by Canada`s changes to parent and grandparent sponsorship. The scales established by Québec to evaluate the financial performance and duration of the business are included in the kits at the bottom of the page. It should be noted that promoters and co-signatories, as well as applicants, remain bound by their obligations after the signing of the agreement. .
