1. No, since he has a spouse in Canada, he can't sponsor an Aunt and Uncle.

He's married so cannot

Say we where to seperate/divorce then he could sponsor them?

Of course not, simply curious.

Hey can you tell me, is it fairly easy to apply for citizenship? Print out and submit forums? or would it be best to hire a immigration lawyer?

Does he have any children? Are either of his parents still alive? Does he have any other family members in Canada apart from his wife?

We have three children, father alive, and no additional family members on his side in Canada.

In that case even if you divorced, you still wouldn't be able to sponsor them. You would have to have no wife, no children, both of your parents would have to be deceased, and you would have to have no other family in Canada to sponsor them.

Who knew there was so many variables.

And if one of his parents is alive, he can't do that even if you attempt fraud.

It's pretty common knowledge to many of us on the forum - but obviously not common knowledge to the general public.

It's referred to as the "lonely Canadian rule" - specifically because you must have absolutely no one in Canada and have no living parents you can sponsor to qualify.

Out of curiosity...is that what immigration refers to it as? Or was it just coined by those applying etc?

I don't know the origins of the term. It's certainly not on the CIC website if that's what you're asking - however the requirements are spelled out fully there.

1. Actually it was in the 1977 Act and Regulations and it was reversed, then you could sponsor the last remaining family member living abroad.
