Since you are married, she cannot sponsor you. you will have to apply on your own.

This is not correct if you are being sponsored as a member of Option 2.

Who you can sponsor
Depending on your circumstances, there are two options for 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:
son or daughter,
parent,
grandparent,
brother or sister,
uncle, aunt,
nephew or niece.
you do not have any of the above-named relatives who is a:
Canadian citizen,
permanent resident, or
registered Indian under the Indian Act.

If the relative you want to sponsor has a spouse, partner, or dependent children who will come with them to Canada you must include them on the same sponsorship application.

You being married is irrelevant.

Your mom's sister can only sponsor you if she meets following conditions:
- NO family at all in Canada (spouse, kids, etc)
- No family members who are PRs or Canadian citizens, anywhere in the world
- Parents are deceased

If any of these does not apply to her, then she in ineligible to sponsor you.

Based on the assumption that your moms sister lives with her family in Canada; she cannot sponsor you.
