Hi,
When dependents are under 22 year of age and are involved in the sponsorship (half-siblings), is financial obligation for 20 years or until they 25 years of age.
If someone can
PLEASE provide clarification that would be greatly appreciated as it is not entirely clear as per explanations provided by IRCC.
Explanation as per Application Guide
Undertaking length for parents and grandparents sponsorship
Your obligations as a sponsor and as a co-signer, if applicable, begin when your family members included in the sponsorship undertaking become permanent residents of Canada.
