I'm 20 & a Canadian Citizen. Live with my mom she's PR.
I'd like to sponsor my aunt (52 Years, Dad's Sister) Dad's deceased, along with Aunt's husband. She's American (Green Card holder along with her husband)
Aunt doesn't have any kids.
If I can, what would be the procedure.
I'm a full-time uni student (No financial income).
If due to financial reason's I can't sponsor her now, when I get a job in my field in 3-4 years how much do I have to show to the govt to be eligible to sponsor her.

Am I able to sponsor her if I have active family members that aren't Canadian citizen yet such as my mother & nana.

Last question is, would I be able to sponsor someone else (future spouse?) if I'm able to sponsor my aunt & do this now or is sponsorship something you can't do more than once.

No, you can't sponsor your aunt.

The only way you could sponsor her is if your parents/grandparents were all dead, you had no children, no spouse/common-law partner and no Canadian citizen/PR family members.

As said above, you can't sponsor her.

If she wants to immigrate to Canada, she will have to qualify on her own through one of the economic immigration streams like Express Entry.

Your aunt could adopt you. And then you will sponsor her.
But if you can't show an income, then unfortunately you can't be a sponsor.

No, this is completely wrong and won't work at all.
