Family reunification is a top priority for the Canadian Government.

For international students who are married and want their spouses to join them, a spousal open work permit is an option.

The sponsorship of parents and grandparents continues to be in high demand and although the Government increased the admission levels for parents and grandparents, the interest from children and grandchildren in Canada to reunite with their parents and grandparents living overseas continues to grow. The government will conduct another application intake round and select 30,000 applications to process this year. Other than the Parent and Grandparent Program, the Super Visa is an excellent program to sponsor parents and grandparents to stay for a longer period in Canada.
