Immigrant visa for family members (1)

Family relatives migration, also known as family reunion migration, is established to give permanent residents or citizens of Canada the opportunity to immigrate their relatives to Canada and reunite with their relatives in Canada.

(1) Conditions for family members to immigrate

Immigration of family members is an important aspect of Canada's immigration policy. Canada gives preferential treatment to such immigrants. Applicants who meet the requirements of relatives, have financial security, good health and no criminal record are easy to be approved. Canadian immigration law stipulates that the following members can apply for family immigration:

1. spouse. Marriage cannot aim at immigration.

2. Children who need to be raised.

The guarantor's children must be under the age of 19 and unmarried. The age limit of 19 is only applicable at the time of delivery, and the insured may be over 19 years old when the visa is issued. Unmarried means "there is no marriage relationship at present", that is, people under 19 are single, divorced, widowed or their marriage has been cancelled, and they are still considered unmarried. Even if a child has a full-time job and does not live with his father, as long as he meets the unmarried conditions below 19, he is still regarded as raising a child. 19 years old or above, must be a full-time student at present, and must continue studying from 19 years old. From the age of 19, most or all of the economy is supported by your parents. If your study is interrupted, you can't stay for more than a year. If the child is over 19 years old, disabled in identity or psychology, and unable to take care of himself, he can also be regarded as a child who relies on most or all of his parents' financial support, but he is not allowed to enter the country in terms of medical examination. Dependent children also include children adopted before 19 years old. Children must go through the adoption procedures in accordance with the local adoption law, and adoption cannot be aimed at immigrants.

3. Father or mother.

If the applicant cannot fulfill the engagement within 90 days and needs to extend the engagement, you must accept the inquiry and give reasonable reasons.

(2) Procedures for applying for an immigrant visa

The basic procedures for applying for a Canadian immigrant visa are:

1. The applicant first applies for a passport to go abroad in China. And apply to the local county or city notary office for a "certificate of relatives", which should specify: (1) the relationship between the applicant and the guarantor;

(2) the names of the applicant's parents;

(3) The name of the applicant's unmarried child is below 19;

(4) Name, age, date of marriage, date and place of birth of the spouse applying for marriage.

Send the Certificate of Kinship to the relatives in Canada, and the relatives will apply to the local immigration center bureau with this certificate, perform the guarantee procedures, and fill in the relevant application form and guarantee letter; Fill in the Application Form for Permanent Residence in China on behalf of Canadian applicants.

Canadian relatives go to the nearest immigration center to get an application form for family reunion, fill it out and send it back, pay the handling fee, sign a letter of guarantee and bear the responsibility of financial guarantee. This is a legal agreement indicating that the applicant is willing and able to provide living and other expenses for his relatives in Canada. The guarantee period is 65,438+0 to 65,438+00 years, depending on the needs of relatives in Canada. If you are an applicant spouse and unmarried children under 2 1 year old, you do not need to meet the financial ability listed in the above table.

3. After receiving the application form and financial guarantee, the immigration center numbers it. If the application is accepted, the relevant materials will be forwarded to the Canadian Embassy in China. And return a numbered copy to the Canadian applicant for inspection. The Canadian Embassy in China will notify the immigrant applicants and arrange the time and place for the meeting. If you agree after the meeting, I will give you a physical examination form on the spot. If you don't give a physical examination form, you may disagree. Family immigrants are generally not seen, and the embassy directly issues medical examination forms.

4. After receiving the physical examination form, carry out relevant physical examination as required.

Canada stipulates that all immigrant applicants, including accompanying spouses and unmarried children under the age of 19, must undergo a medical examination according to the items stipulated by Canada, and fill in the medical examination results on the immigration medical examination report form issued by the Canadian Embassy. When this form is submitted to the embassy, the following supporting materials must be attached;

(1)1/applicants or professionals over 0/year old, each with a chest X-ray (not less than 35x28 cm, with the applicant's name, photo date and doctor's autograph printed on it);

(2) Urine analysis of the applicant or accompanying personnel over 5 years old, including microscopic examination;

③/kloc-blood test data of applicants or accompanying persons over 0/5 years old.

5. If the medical examination is qualified and all procedures are complete, embassies and consulates in China will issue an immigrant visa. Canadian immigrant visa is a separate visa, not a visa on the passport. If you get a visa, you need to pay a visa fee.

The application form for permanent residence in Canada is formulated by Immigration Canada and must be filled out by every immigrant applicant. This form is the basis for the Ministry of Human Resources and Immigration to conduct a comprehensive review of the applicants, and it is also the main evidence for grading the applicants. There are 35 items in the application form, 1 to 25 items are mainly about the natural situation of individuals, families and relatives in Canada. From item 26 to item 3 1, it is a comprehensive evaluation of the applicant's education level, professional training and work experience. Item 35 clearly tells the applicant that any act that is false or conceals important facts will lead to permanent refusal to enter the country. Even if you are allowed to enter the country for permanent residence for a period of time, any fraudulent matters filled in the application form can be used as the basis for prosecuting the applicant or being deported.

Family-related immigrants have always been a kind of immigrants valued and protected by the Canadian government, but the problems brought by such immigrants to Canadian society have also attracted the attention of the Canadian government. Canada pays about 700 million Canadian dollars in welfare benefits to immigrants every year. It can be seen that the immigration of family members who have no professional skills and do not understand English has caused a very heavy economic burden to Canada.

(three) the conditions of the family members' immigration guarantor

According to the regulations of the Canadian government, Canadian relatives who are economic guarantors must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents over 18 years old. If you apply for one of your relatives to immigrate, your annual salary should reach10.2 million Canadian dollars or more; If you apply for two relatives to move, the annual salary is 6.5438+0.5 million Canadian dollars. Relatives cannot apply for welfare benefits from the Canadian government within 5 to 10 years after they arrive in Canada.

Whether the guarantor has the qualification and ability to guarantee, immigration officials should investigate and review, and ask the guarantor to provide relevant documents to prove, mainly the performance of the guarantee responsibility for foreign relatives before the investigation; Occupational and personal income; Age and other personal circumstances, and shall issue the following relevant documents:

Identification, such as passport, travel document, citizen card or immigrant entry visa;

(2) professional certificate, that is, the certificate issued by the employer to confirm his position, monthly salary, term of office and tax payment certificate;

③ bank deposit certificate;

Proof of the relationship between the guarantor and the applicant, such as marriage certificate and birth certificate.

Canadian relatives fulfill their guarantee responsibility by making a written guarantee to the Immigration Department. Usually fill in two forms, one is a guarantee application, and the other is a guarantor's property appraisal. In the letter of guarantee, it is necessary to ensure that the immigrant applicant can solve the living and living expenses within a few years after entering the country and provide necessary help. The guarantee period is determined by the immigration officer according to the applicant's conditions and kinship, and the longest is 10 year. For example, if the applicant is over 60 years old and unable to work, the immigration officer may ask for 10 year's living expenses. If the applicant is 16 years old, he can live independently in another two years, and he may need to guarantee his living expenses for two years. There is no limit to the number of applicants who can guarantee entry, but as a guarantor, he must have sufficient economic ability, assets, fixed occupation and good living conditions.

(4) Refusal of entry and immigration appeal

In addition to the immigration law, the Canadian Embassy in China also refuses visas in daily examination and approval. For example, applying for entry on the grounds of marriage, but the information provided by both parties is inconsistent, or they have never known each other, or their ages are too different. The relatives of those who apply for entry as relatives have arranged jobs, but they have not been approved by the Ministry of Manpower and Immigration, and so on.

If the immigrant applicant suffers from diseases harmful to the health of Canadian citizens, such as mental illness and lung disease; Was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment; Canada will refuse to issue immigrant visas to those who are connected with major criminal groups or may be involved in sexual crimes. If the immigration applicant is unreasonably rejected, in addition to immigration appeal, he can also appeal to the Canadian federal court, so as to make a final and fair judgment.

In Canada, in addition to the Immigration Department, there is also an "Immigration Appeal Board", which is the authority to conduct immigration-related litigation activities. Its status is independent, equivalent to the immigration court, and it acts as an arbitration between immigration and immigration. Canadian citizens or permanent residents apply for their relatives to enter the country, and their sponsorship qualification is rejected, or the insured is not allowed to enter the country, and immigrants or non-immigrants are suspected of refusing their entry at the port of entry; Or the identity of permanent residents is cancelled, and so on. They can file a lawsuit with the Immigration Appeal Bureau at the port to safeguard their rights.
