Hello,

Seeking for solution.

I am my spouse with a 5 yrs old daughter living in Saskatoon, sakatchewan Canada. Our income level is 90K combined. I have a sister who is divorced and has 7 yrs daughter living by themselves. My Sister is deaf and works in Pharmaceuticals company in a packaging department. Recently my father passed away and mother is also alone in the back home country.

I am in process of bringing my Mother in canada but at the same time I want to bring my sister and her daughter to canada as well. Doesnot matter if 1-2 year delayed. Once my mother come to canada there will be no one to take care of my sister and her daughter.

Can you please suggest me how can i help my sister and her daughter migrating to Canada. After divorce my sister life is having trouble staying in the country.

Please suggest me the better solution to help my sister migrating to saskachewan canada. She is very good at sign language and can teach other deaf people how to communicate in sign language.

Once my mother get PR in canada, Can she sponsor her daughter and her sister? what will be best solution for this problem. My sister is now turning 30.

Agreed with the above - neither you nor your mother can sponsor her. She will have to qualify to immigrate independently through an economic immigration stream. You've been given good recommendation above - that she should focus on the Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee program and the Express Entry / Federal Skilled Worker program.

It sounds like her role may be unskilled. If so, that will make it more difficult for her to qualify to immigrate. If there is any opportunity for her to get at least a year of paid work experience in a NOC A, B or 0 profession - that will make immigrating to Canada more realistic. She will also need to take either an English or French language test and achieve minimum marks in order to qualify to immigrate. Her level of education will also be a factor.

Note that in order for your sister to immigrate to Canada with her daughter, she will need the father's permission to bring her daughter to Canada.

Good luck.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Since my sister is deaf she cant go with language test as we do though she has done her Bachelors from the country. Will this barrier be the things to apply with the PNP migrating her under unskilled worker?

Is there any possibility to come canada with work permit for such person? If so what is the process?

Looking for the help

Thanking you in advance

She can in fact complete a language test. Completing either the English or French language test is mandatory for economic immigration. Since your sister is deaf, she wouldn't have to complete the Listening or Speaking portion of the test. However she would still have to complete the Reading and Writing sections and achieve a minimum score. There is no way around this requirement. Again, completing a language test is mandatory to immigrate through any economic immigration stream.

Obtaining a work permit is extremely difficult. The first step is to find an employer who is willing to give her a full time job. The next step is for that employer to obtain an approved LMIA. The LMIA process is long (4-6 months) and expensive for the employer with no guarantee of approval. As a first step, the employer must advertise the job in several online / print locations for at least a month to prove no Canadian could be found for the role. Because the LMIA process is so long an expensive, most employers aren't willing to go through the process. However you can certainly try. Note that your sister will need to be able to read/write in either English or French for the work permit to be approved.

I don't know if my comment is of any help and I certainly DO NOT want to get your hopes high. However, there may be two options for you to look into:

1) Applying for your mother, and then proving your sister is dependent on her/you (whether financially or physically). I UNDERSTAND that she is working at the moment but I assume that she may be dependent on your mother for certain daily living activities. Be honest though in the application. To meet the requirements of being a dependent on your parent who's being sponsored are listed her: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/age-limit-requirements-dependent-children.html

2) The other option might be applying on humanitarian and compassionate grounds for your sister. This route is for those who don't meet the usual requirements of IRCC, and I AM NOT sure if any sibling has used this route in the past. I also certainly don't know if it would be good idea to apply once your mom is here or when your mom's file is under processing. A GOOD & HONEST lawyer (hard to find some times) would be the best to ask about it. Following link might be useful: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5291-humanitarian-compassionate-considerations.html

You can also google for more "H&C" cases. Some takes long and some not as much I believe.

Either way I wish the best for your family :) Good luck my friend

1) Not an option. Sister was already married, had a child, and works. All of this very clearly demonstrates she does not meet CIC's definition of a dependent. No chance CIC will classify her as one. If she had never been married and never worked, there might be a chance. No chance in this case.

2) H&C would only be an option if the sister was here physically. H&C applications require that the person be physically in Canada - so she would need to get a TRV first and travel here. Not possible to apply while she is outside of Canada.
