How to relocate to Canada to live with your family?

Do you want to invite your loved ones to join you in Canada if you have a work visa, citizenship, or permanent residence? The Canadian government allows eligible citizens who are at least eighteen years old to sponsor their dependents, including parents, grandparents, spouses, and children, to reside in Canada to promote family reunions. We at Meritide Visas, one of the leading Canada immigration consultants in Delhi, are dedicated to helping you navigate this process and ensure that your family reunion goes without a hitch with our comprehensive Canada Dependent Visa services.
