No, not on a study permit. Once a PR and have 3 years meeting LICO and being selected in the lottery, then you can sponsor your parents. You can try to include him in your Parent's sponsorship application if he is dependent on them for all aspects of his life. Whether its approved will be decided then. So you are looking at many years down the road. Some people are never selected for the lottery.
Immigiration or sponsorship for my mentally retarded brother
- Thread starter rubinarizvi
- Start date
So is there any other way around for Parent's sponsorship if one do not get lottery.
Would it make any difference or bring more possibilities for family, specially for my brother if I get Citizenship.
No difference being a citizen. Your parents still need to be selected for the lottery. You need to meet a minimum salary for the total number of people in your family including spouse and children. You need to meet LICO for 3 years in a row. If you don’t meet a year, you start at year one again.
Even if selected and you prove dependancy, your brother has to also pass the medical. If he is medically inadmissable (burden on health care system) then your parents file is refused and none of them can immigrate.The other way is for your parents to immigrate through Express Entry based on their own merits (skills, education etc.). But then they still have to prove your brother is dependant if over 22. Or they can get visitor visas to visit you.
You don’t have a study permit yet. So you still need to graduate, get PR and meet LICO for 3 years. Even if you are selected the first year, you are years away from sponsorship.
Thank you for answering! What will be the scenario or process for him in case I get married there?
If you get married or have children, then you need to meet LICO for those people too. So right now you are a family of 4 but if married, you will be 5. Again you are looking at years from now so the sponsorship program will change. It is oversubcribed every year (eg. 100k+ applications for 20k or so spots).
This question was previously answered. If you are married, the process for sponsoring your brother won't change. The only option will be to try to sponsor him as a dependent if and when you qualify to sponsor your parents.
I have the same issueThank you so much everyone for your very informative and kind replies !
The feeling that nothing can be done to bring him here is really very depressing for me.
I have been trying every possibility for my mentally retarded brother for his better care.....I tried to hire care takers, asked other relatives for his care and actually gave them handsome amount monthly, even I kept my brother in special children institutes & centres and paid for their fee plus for a lot more extra hidden expenses they asked for.... so that they could treat him well but in every case they end up of doing physical torture to my brother sometimes hidden sometimes prominent and there is no one there to see the scars or tortures marks on his body. My brother himself is not been able to understand, explain or express his pain, hunger or anything which a normal person can do.
The only solution I can think of is to move permanently to Pakistan and keep him with me and take care of him.... I am ready to give the sacrifice to live there alone without my immediate family ( husband, sons & daughter) who are well settled here and dont want yo move there with me.... but I always think that I won't be that strong if I'll live alone in Pakistan without my family around and thats the only reason I wanted to bring my brother here because me and my family all are here for him to take care of.
Adoption is a good solution but not sure if a person aged 44 can be adopted ( although my mentally retarded brother's mental age is not more than 2 years child)
Canada is a country of humanity and are there any organizations who can help me to bring my brother for the humanity sake and could think beyond the legal restrictions, I mean to say work according to the legal formalities but could think for the sake of humanity.....
I wish if I can find some solution with the help of all you kind people.
Thanks once again.
