As we celebrate Mother’s Day in Canada, we take a moment to recognize and honour the caregivers, nurturers, and guiding figures whose love, strength, and sacrifices shape the heart of immigration stories. Whether arriving in Canada to support loved ones, seeking stability for their families, or waiting patiently during lengthy sponsorship processes, these individuals play a central role in shaping the stories of countless families who call this country home.

Mothers and the Canadian Immigration Journey

At Zohil-Morton Law, we have the privilege of assisting many people — mothers and caregivers among them — as they navigate the Canadian immigration system. From spousal sponsorships and family reunification to permanent residency applications, we witness firsthand the determination, resilience, and hope that drive people seeking a better future for themselves and those they care about.

We see individuals:

• Reuniting with children, partners, and other extended family through sponsorship programs.
• Applying for permanent residence while contributing to their families, communities, and workplaces.
• Supporting the integration and education of younger generations.
• Enduring long processing times with patience, optimism, and courage.

Family Reunification: A Canadian Value

Canada recognizes the importance of family reunification as a cornerstone of its immigration policy. Through programs like the Family Class Sponsorship and the Super Visa, Canadian citizens and permanent residents can bring their parents and grandparents closer to home. These pathways are more than legal frameworks — they are lifelines that help preserve family ties, cultural heritage, and emotional well-being.

A Note to All Who Mother

To everyone who fills a maternal role — biological or chosen — navigating the challenges of Canadian immigration, to every person who has left behind familiarity to build a brighter future, and to every elder who continues to guide their family from afar or beside them in a new land: we see you, we celebrate you, and we thank you.

Your journey is one of courage, and it deserves recognition not only on Mother’s Day, but every day.
