Lonely Canadian Program/Other Relative Program: Sponsor Your Relatives

Include it with your application. If you’ve already submitted your application, send it to us through our Web form.

In your request, include your:

• full name
• date of birth
• country of birth,
• application number (if you know it)
• relative’s Client ID Number (UCI) (if you know it)

You can upload the form after you’ve completed all the required fields.

If you want to check on your family member’s application status

As the sponsor, you may want to have access to your relative’s information without being in charge of their application. For example, you may want to check their application status on their behalf, but not act as their representative.

To protect their privacy, they need to give us their written consent before we’ll share any of their personal information with you or give anyone access to their application information.

Find out how the persons you’re sponsoring can give you access to their information.
