Hello Friends ,

My elder brother (Real Brother) lives in Canada with her spouse and kids . He is permanent resident of Canada and her wife and kids too. He is living in Canada from past 2 years . Can he sponsor me ? I am 28 years old , doing job and living with my parents in India .

I got this two options below on cic website . I do not fall in option 1 and thinking about option 2 , but i have some confusion about option 2 and not able to understand it correctly. Can my brother sponsor me by option 2 ?
I will truly appreciate your feedbacks
Sunny

Who you can sponsor

Option 1 – Orphaned close relatives

You can sponsor close relatives, related by blood or adoption, such as brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren only if they meet all of the following conditions:

They are orphaned,
They are under 18, and
They do not have a spouse, common law partner, or conjugal partner.

Option 2 – Other relative

You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age if you meet all of the following conditions:

you do not have a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner, or one of the following living relatives you could sponsor instead:

parent,
grandparent,
brother or sister,

nephew or niece.
you do not have any of the above-named relatives who is a:
Canadian citizen,

registered Indian under the Indian Act.Who you can sponsor
 
No he cannot sponsor you because he has a spouse.
