My partner and I are looking to move over to Ontario, we also have a young daughter.
My dad is a permanent resident and would be able to sponsor us. I'm just confused as I am 24 and I have a fiance and child could they also come over on the family sponsorship visa?
My partner is a skilled trades person and is also eligible for the express visa but I'm confused as what to do.
We are from the UK.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and questions with us.
You can find some information regarding this type of sponsorship in our How do I sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent child living outside of Canada? article.
It is important to note the definition of dependent child. Here is an excerpt,
Who is a dependent child?
Note: As of August 1, 2014, a dependent child must be under 19 years old (previously 22), according to Citizenship and Immigration Canada
For sponsorship purposes, a dependent child may be your own child or those of the person you are sponsoring.
According to Citizenship and Immigration Canada, they must:
- Be under the age of 19 and not a spouse or common-law partner; or
- Have depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 19 and unable to provide for themselves due to a medical condition.
You can find some information on how you or your partner may be eligible apply to immigrate to Ontario in ourSettlement.Org How can I apply to immigrate to Ontario? article.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
