Hi,

I am single in status and plan to apply for Immigrant in Canada as a Skilled Worker. However, I wanted my mother to go with me. Is it valid to include her in my application and go together with me once approved? Or do I need to apply for myself first and wait until I am approved before she can apply?

Thanks.

1. No, you can't include her.
2. You would have to land as a PR, meet the Lico in Canadian earnings before you could sponsor her. The processing time would be a minimum of 3 years up to about 8/9 years. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/08-fc-parents.asp and http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp#sponsorship
