My family sponsoring my boyfriend?

[Kennedybarth]

Hello,
I was living in London until recently and I met my boyfriend there. We've been dating for over two years now. He has been to Canada twice and loves it! We've looked into me sponsoring him but as I'm 20 and a student I have a feeling I wouldn't get approved as one. But my parents have said they will sponsor him. But I have no idea which application that would be! Or which options we would have to choose to make that happen. Help!

Hi

Your parents can't sponsor him.

If you are common-law (have lived together continuously for at least a year), you can sponsor him. Your age and the fact that you are a student are not reasons you would be refused for.

You can't sponsor a boyfriend, period. You must be legally married or common-law (having lived together for 12 consecutive months).

You can only think about sponsorship once you have one of these statuses. When you do, then only you can sponsor him, not your family. There is no minimum income required to sponsor, so you would be fine. Your family can just write letters of financial support for you.
