If you want to sponsor your nephews to come to Canada, you can do so through the Family Class sponsorship program. This program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor certain family members to come to Canada as permanent residents. To be eligible to sponsor your nephews, you must meet certain requirements, including being at least 18 years old and able to financially support them.

To sponsor your nephews, you will need to complete an application and submit it to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). You will also need to provide documents to prove your relationship to your nephews, as well as information about your financial situation and any other family members who are living in Canada.

It's a good idea to gather all of the necessary documents and information before starting the application process. This will make it easier for you to complete the application and increase your chances of success. You can find more information about the Family Class sponsorship program and the requirements for sponsoring your nephews on the IRCC website.

I recommend seeking the assistance of a lawyer or immigration consultant to help you navigate the process and ensure that your application is completed correctly. They can provide you with more specific information about the process and the documents you will need to submit.

Are their parents alive? Don’t have parents can mean many things. How did they get study permits without have a parent or guardian in their home country, strong ties to their home country, funds to support their studies in Canada? Are they nephews are brothers? Both seem to be used in your posts. How old are they? Any of the 18?
