Family sponsorship should be built around evidence, not assumptions.

Eligibility dependent

Canadian citizens and permanent residents may be able to sponsor eligible family members for permanent residence. The process and evidence depend heavily on the relationship category.

How we approach Family Sponsorship

Most applications are lost long before submission — in the strategy, the timing and the evidence. We start by understanding your situation in full, then decide whether Family Sponsorship is genuinely the strongest route for you, or whether another Canadian pathway fits better.

From there the work is practical: confirming eligibility, building the file, preparing you for what officers will question, and keeping the strategy consistent from first assessment to final decision. You always know where your file stands and what happens next.

Because our team also works in business consulting, entrepreneurs and professionals get advice that considers the commercial and career side of the move, not only the immigration forms.

Core services

Our role is to turn Family Sponsorship from a list of requirements into a managed file. We stay involved from the first assessment through to the final decision, so that strategy, evidence and communication with the authorities stay consistent.

Spouse or Partner Sponsorship

For eligible spouses, common-law partners and other qualifying partner categories.

We focus on:

  • Sponsor eligibility
  • Relationship history
  • Documentary evidence
  • Previous marriages or relationships
  • Cohabitation evidence where relevant
  • Financial and household context
  • Admissibility
  • Application consistency

Dependent Child Sponsorship

For eligible dependent children, including files involving custody, consent or family-document complexity.

Parents and Grandparents

The federal Parents and Grandparents Program is currently paused for new intake. Synova can support:

  • Existing PGP applications
  • Future intake planning
  • Super Visa assessment
  • Visitor and extension strategies where appropriate

Common risks

Most refusals are not caused by a single missing form. They come from issues that were visible early and left unaddressed. These are the ones we look for first.

Inconsistent forms
Unexplained gaps
Insufficient evidence

Custody issues
