One of the main objectives of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (the Act) since 2015 is to see that Canadian families are united with their loved ones irrespective of their nationality. The Child Under-18 Sponsorship program allows a Canadian citizen or one that has a permanent residence to sponsor the immigration of a dependent under 18-year-old child (whether legitimate or adopted child) to live with them.

Tourist visa or visitor visa is also called a Temporary Resident Visa. It is the official document issued by the Canadian visa office that is attached in the travel document, passport. The tourist visa shows that the visitor or the traveler meets the entire requirement needed to enter Canada as a temporary resident.

The Canada Immigration Express Entry Program was introduced in January 2015 in the IRCC system for Canadian immigration. This program is designed for the selection of workers who are looking to migrate to Canada for financial stability. This is an entirely online process that involves the federal government, provincial governments, and employers in Canada.
