The family reunification process is pretty complex and varies considerably from one situation to another. Here you will find the different ways to begin this process, as well as useful resources to help you.

Individual follow-up

As of 13/02/2025 and due to staff shortages, the family reunification team is temporarily no longer answering phone calls and e-mails, and will do so for an indefinite period. The waiting list for new applications is also closed for the time being. The team is concentrating on its current files.

Group information sessions

The information sessions, which last around two hours, explain the procedure and the points to which you need to pay particular attention. This is an alternative to individual sessions. The aim of these sessions is to enable you to initiate the family reunification procedure yourself.

Please note: these group sessions are currently only available in French and are closed for an indeterminate period.
