A family member is someone who is related to you or your spouse/common-law partner. With family and/or friends in Canada, you may qualify for certain fast-track Canadian immigration programs. NOTE: Certain provinces allow step (e.g. step-brother) and in-law (e.g. sister-in-law) relationship for purpose of family sponsorship. If your family member has such a relationship, please provide complete information in the Questions and Comments section below.
