Where can I find information on international adoption?
Canadian law allows you to adopt a child from another country if you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. To bring your adoptive child to Canada, you must sponsor the child for immigration. You can start sponsoring a child as soon as you decide to adopt or you can wait until after you have found a child and have started the adoption process.
There are two processes that you must go through when you adopt a child from another country: the adoption process and the immigration sponsorship process. You need to know about both.
