Frequently asked questions:
Sponsoring your family
Eligible relatives
What if I can’t afford to sponsor my relative? Can they come to Canada as a refugee instead?
Your relative is only eligible under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees program if they are in a situation where they may be subject to persecution in their home country. For more information, see The Refugee System on the left-hand side of this page.
