Hello Everyone!!

I am in a big dilemma now. I am living in Manitoba for last 7 years and I would like to sponsor my brother on Canadian Spouse Visa to get their Permanent Residency. But, on the other hand I am also pregnant and will be soon out for my maternity/ pregnancy leave. My question is that Can i still sponsor my brother and his wife to Manitoba for their PR file or no if I would be on my maternity leave?

Also, do I need just to be working on a job? or I can even be self employed too in order for me to sponsor them?

Please advise. Waiting for quick encouraging replies.

Hello NANCY88!

You can't sponsor your brother under Spouse visa! Its for couples only. Your brother can apply under family referral visa, EE and PNP (if eligible), to the best of my knowledge..

Cheers.
