Hello Guys, I am sorry for your precious time to read my message, my status is as below: I am from China and I am 36 years old, I got married and have a 5 years old daughter. My aunty's status is as below: her husband, parents and grandparents passed away, there is no relative in Canada with her, and she has no children. Her income per year is about 43,000CAD. Can she sponsor me to Canada? She is very longly now and she has no one relative in Canada, but she has brothers and sisters who are over 60 years old in China. I just want to know whether she is eligible to sponsor me to Canada. As I have seen some immigration policy as below:

You can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.

Thanks for your time to read my message again, I wish the guy who will reply my message have a niceset, good luck new year.

This topic for me is a bit unclear and I don't know anyone who's been through this type of sponsorship. As you can see from the text you quoted, siblings, nephew and nieces "could be sponsored as members of the family class".

So if she doesn't have a husband, children, parents or grandparent alive, I think the next in line are siblings. The fact that she has brothers and sisters in Chine might be an impediment for you. But I'm really not sure how it works and which family member has priority at this point. I would think that her siblings, uncles and aunts have priority for a sponsorship over you.

If I were you, I would call the CIC call center to get more information. It's best to confirm it with them, there is a slight chance she can sponsor you, but don't take my word for it. Inform yourself through a lawyer, CIC, etc. Try all means necessary before you make a decision.

I am leaning towards Avadava's post. As long as her siblings are alive, they takes precedent over you.

I think her situation may warrant a special situation based on her case. Your best bet is to contact CIC and see if she can qualify to sponsor you.

Thanks both of you, please see the below policy, it seems that if the brothers and sisters are over 18 years old, my aunty can not sponsor them, please view, I am very confused about this as well, my application has been sent and I just wish for the best now:

You can sponsor:
•brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship
•another relative of any age or relationship but only under specific conditions (see Note below)
•accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children).

Note: You can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.

Who cannot be sponsored

Other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.

The fact that you are over 18 and independent (you are married and have a child of your own) might also disqualify you from the family class. I don't want to be mean, but there are high chances your application will be refused based on the fact that you do not qualify as a member of the family class.

I hope this is not true and I wish you the best of luck though.

Thanks very much, Sir, but I apply for the second policy:"regardless of age or relationship ", for she has no husband, no parents and no grandparents and no children, all of the brothers and sisters who are over 60 years old,and I don't think she can sponsor her sibling for the below policy:

Who cannot be sponsored

Other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.

Like I said, I am unfamiliar with this topic and all that I wrote so far is from my own understanding. I would be very confused if I were in your situation too.

Once again, I wish you all the best and hope that you qualify for this sponsorship.

Note does say "you can sponsor anyone of any age or relationship under special conditions" however the conditions you listed including "no living siblings". So as long as your aunt's brothers and sisters are alive, regardless of where they live, she cannot sponsor you.

Sir, you misunderstood my poor English, I said I was sponsored by my Aunty, not I am the sponsor.

She has no children, no husband, no parent and grandparents alive and no relative in Canada, she has brothers and sisters in China but they are over 60 years old, so Can she sponsor me?

Yes, Sir, they are alive, but please note the words of "who could be sponsored as a member of the family class", as they are over 18 years old and they are not the orphan, so how can they be sponsor as a member of the family class?

If she has living siblings ( regardless of her not being to able to sponsor them as they are 60 ), she cannot sponsor. This rule is basically when she is all alone and no trace of any

living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece

regardless of wherever they are in the world

The discussion is not that he can sponsor. He is asking if his aunt can sponsor him as his aunt is alone in Canada.

His aunt has living siblings which does not allow her to sponsor him under special conditions as it listed "no living siblings" in order for his aunt to sponsor him.
