The length of the undertaking for a sponsorship agreement in Canada depends on the type of sponsorship and the immigration program being applied for. In general, the length of the undertaking is the period of time during which the sponsor is responsible for the sponsored individual and must provide financial support if necessary.
For the Family Class Sponsorship, the length of the undertaking is usually three years from the day the sponsored individual arrives in Canada. This applies to spousal, common-law partner, and dependent child over 22 years old.
For Dependent child sponsorship under 22 years of age, the length of the undertaking is usually ten years from the day the sponsored individual arrives in Canada, or until the child becomes 25 years old, whichever happens first.
For Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship, the length of the undertaking is twenty years from the day the sponsored individual arrives in Canada.
For the Caregiver Program and the Live-in Caregiver Program, the length of the undertaking is usually two years from the day the sponsored individual arrives in Canada.
It is important to note that the length of the undertaking may vary based on the specific immigration program and the individual circumstances. It is recommended to consult with a Canadian immigration expert for more detailed information and to ensure that the sponsorship agreement is properly understood and fulfilled.
