Question: I am a Filipino chemical engineer working in Canada for two years now. I sponsored my wife under Family Class spousal sponsorship and was initially declined. I filed an appeal and luckily won. I still have a daughter in the Philippines whom I would like to sponsor as well, but I recently came to know that she just bore a child out of wedlock. Can I get her and my grandchild to join me and my wife in Canada?
Answer: Yes, you can sponsor both your daughter and grandchild, if the mother remains single as you apply for their sponsorship. Aside from that, another issue you need to clear is your financial capacity. You have to be able to prove to Canadian immigration authorities that you have the financial means to support your entire family when they join you in Canada. As long as you are able to show acceptable evidence, you will have no problem getting Immigration Canada’s nod.
