I would like to sponsor my nephew (27y/o and not married) to come in Canada. I am single and separated and no relatives here in Calgary, my daughters was so close to my nephew and he helped me took care of them when they were a babies. He was my sister’s son on her first marriage and he was abandoned by his parents that’s why he mostly with us when we were back home. His Mom found another man and living in japan with her daughter. I do not have any family nor relatives and friends here with me in Calgary. I would like to know if I can sponsor him to come here.

Sponsoring your nephew isn't possible. He will have to qualify for PR on his own through an economic stream like Express Entry once he has enough education and work expeirence, etc. to qualify.
Orphaned brother, sister, nephew, niece or grandchild
You can sponsor an orphaned brother, sister, nephew, niece or grandchild only if they meet all of these conditions:
- they’re related to you by blood or adoption
- both their mother and father passed away
- they’re under 18 years of age
- they’re single (not married or in a common-law or conjugal relationship)
- one of their parents is still alive
- no one knows where their parents are
- their parents abandoned them
- someone else other than their parents is taking care of them while one or both their parents are alive
- their parent is in jail or otherwise detained
I have question though it’s stated this on the website. I do no have any relatives here in Calgary but have aunt in Vancouver but we are not close to each other. And my marital status is separated. That’s why I am thinking to sponsor my nephew.
As already said, no. You have children and Canadian relatives, both of which make you ineligible to sponsor him.
Yes - he can certainly apply for Express Entry. He needs to have around 470 points to be selected.
