Hi all, i am helping my friend decide if they can sponsor their sister who lives in Mexico. He is 53 and she is 52. She does have older kids who are living elsewhere in Mexico and one son here in Canada. Also, she has visited here over the last 5 years and accumulated close to 2 years of time via ETA. Not sure how that would be an advantage if needed.
My friend is currently a PR here in Canada and close to becoming a citizen in a few months. I read that he can potentially choose other relative option to sponsor his sister. The time frame for other relative does not yield anything on the gov website when i checked so not sure how long it takes. My question is whether he can sponsor her under the other relative program or should the sister's son who just received his PR sponsor her under the parent sponsor which takes 24 months hence not sure which one is the better route. Much thanks for any insights.
