Sponsor your adopted child
There are 2 processes that you must go through when you sponsor your adopted child from another country: the adoption process and the immigration process.
The immigration process has 2 parts:
- the application for sponsorship
- the application for permanent residence for the child
After your child arrives in Canada as a permanent resident, you can apply for citizenship on the child’s behalf. However, the adoption must be finalized before the child can be granted citizenship.
