Family sponsorship of parents and dependent sibling

[Sunil_JZ]

Anyone successful in, or known of anyone who has sponsored parents and adult dependent sibling? The sibling is dependent on parents due to a learning disability.

I would appreciate all thoughts and especially those from people who have done this. Is it possible?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Don't think an adult with a learning disability qualifies as your parents' dependent.

The reason I say this is because there are lot of adults with a learning disability that are able to live their lives independently from their parents.

I suspect you're not going to get any answers. Here's the issue - to convince CIC that the adult sibling is really a dependent, you have to prove the condition they have is serious enough that they cannot live on their own and are entirely dependent on your parents. However if you prove they have a condition this serious, then you're likely facing a refusal of the entire file (including your parents) since the dependent sibling will be assessing as having a condition that will place a burden on Canada's social and health care systems. So it's a bit of a catch-22. I'm sure some have managed to do this successfully - however I suspect they are very few and far between.

I'm in the same situation. My brother has a shoulder nerve injury. I'd like to know any success stories and lawyers that can handle such situations.

That's not nearly enough to have him declared as a dependent of your parents.

It needs to be something a lot more serious (e.g. autism, cerebral palsy).

The fact is he cannot survive on his own. He cannot do simple things like preparing a meal or even tying his shoes. He is about 40 but he acts like a 10 year old.

What you are describing is far more than just a shoulder nerve injury.

WE have no diagnosis for other mental things which are a result of his shoulder injury. I know it's kind of complicated case. The thing is I have to take care of him after my parents die. Either he has to be here or I have to leave my family and go back. So I think for me it's better to cover all his expenses myself rather than leave my kids here and live far away from them.

Anyway thanks for replying

If you want to have any hope of him being declared as a dependent, you need to have his condition fully diagnosed. Again, CIC won't accept him as a dependent based on a simple shoulder injury. You need more than that.

Agree with scylla. "shoulder nerve injury" will not be acceptable enough reason for IRCC. If he has a severe mental disability, that may be enough reason. But he will need a proper medical diagnosis.
