As a Permanent Resident in Canada Am I allowed to Adopt any of my Nephew and Nieces from Philippines? Before I came to Canada I already supported one of my Niece and Nephew, I married a Canadian and I had 2 Miscarriages, Me and husband planned to Adopt an I want to Adopt one of my Niece or Nephew back home since I was supporting all of them since from the beginning of their birth of their needs and studies, they are all very close to me and they treated me their second parents , Their parents cannot provide all their kids needs without me, So is it possible that I can adopt one of them??? Please I need your help to answer my question and thank you.

No, you can't bring them to Canada this way. As their parents are still alive and caring for the children, this would be seen by IRCC as an Adoption of Convenience.
First of all, I'd like to commend you for what you are doing to help your niece and nephew. The world could use a lot more people like you. I don't think tearing one of the children away from his/her family would be in the best interest of the child ... neither the one that is adopted, nor the one that is left behind.
Here is another thread that talks about on Adoptions of Convenience. I hope you find it informative:

yes mother father both...and they are all under 18 girls...i am from pakistan...before this trauma i had applied for me my wife and my baby and fund was required 18825 and i ll arrange this fund using gift deed from my wife`s father in fact my wife is principal applicant so if i adopt them so can they be part of this application as i ve got ITA..and if its possible after adoption so my brother is in Canada he will arrange fund deficit for them so how could i mention those fund in my application as a gift deed or anything else??the case is very weird...my nieces are alone here in Pakistan they are all girls...ur suggestion will highly be appreciable in this regard
You need to ask your question regarding proof of funds on in the Express Entry section of the forum.
Sorry for your loss. I wish the best for the girls; I am sure that there is some measure of comfort in knowing that there is still family looking out for them.
I noticed that Pakistan is on the restricted adoptions list at Canada Immigration:

However, the restriction is at the Pakistan end, and the restrictions may not apply to someone in your position, and with your background. You may have to follow up with the authorities in Pakistan.
Ah - I missed that the poster was from Pakistan. The above post is correct - adoption isn't possible (Canada won't recognize it).
You won't be able to include them in your application.
What you will need to do is try to sponsor them once you have PR and are in Canada.

But i m not canadian citizen...i cant have them as with me mdependentnt children or my adopted children???
if not in my case so can my brother sponsors them he had already sponsored his wife earlier...he has good standing there..plz any possibility plz??
Canada doesn't recognize Pakistan's form of adoption. It doesn't matter what nationality you are.
IRCC allows Canadian citizens/PRs to sponsor their orphaned nieces/nephews without actually adopting them. This is the route you or one of the children's other aunts/uncles would need to take.
canuck_in_uk is right. Family Class allows you to sponsor orphaned relatives under 18 years of age, including:
- brother, sister, nephew, niece or grandchild who is
- orphaned
- under 18 years old and
- not married or in a common-law relationship
Thnk u ..wat do u mean by family class?? Wat wuld be procedure if my brother applies to sponosoring them??
