Hi,

i want to sponsor by birth parents, i was adopted and now i want to sponsor my birth parents from india. i am 28
is it possible?

Thanks

Have you sponsored your adopted parents and you want to now sponsor your birth parents?

My adopted parents live in canada currently and been here for 35 years. And i want to sponsor my birth parents.

I do not think it should be a problem provided you have proof of relationship (birth certificate with your parents name on it). However, to be sure call up the CIC call center and get this clarified.

Having been adopted, unfortunately, you cannot sponsor your birth parents.

As soon as you are adopted, you severe your relationship with your natural parents

Mr. Kalra

For of my own curiosity, can you provide a link from the CIC website which proves your point. I did not find anything which prohibits an adopted person from sponsoring their birth parents.

There may be another avenue, where a person can sponsor any person provided there is no spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, niece or nephew who is a Canadian citizen, or permanent resident or whom you may sponsor.
