Help!!! Can my Aunty sponsor me to Canada?

[Regina]

There is nothing preventing a person from doing that.

I agree. A sponsor could CHOOSE in this case between two processes : "Sponsor a spouse/dependent child" and "Sponsor your parent/grandparent".

But what could he choose in the case of "Sponsor OTHER relatives" (looking at the subsequence of the list)? Or have he to follow the list?

Is it obvious that an adult child could be sponsored first and not an adult sibling or an adult niece? Or only if there are no siblings, neices, uncles and parents alive sponsor may sponsor an adult child?

Actually the whole thing is very confusing. First they are talking about undergaged siblings , then they say just "siblings" and in the end - "you could not sponsor your adult siblings". Does it work in the same way with adult children? it is obvilous you may sponsor your dependent children (under different procees but still under Family class), then they put just "son or daughter" under "Sponsor OTHER relative " process, and finally on the same page they say "you cannot sponsor your aduld child".

For me it sounds that you can sponsor any adult blood relative EXCEPT your adult child. :-X

I think you can sponsor your adult child if you have no living relatives who cannot be sponsored and no relatives that is not Canadian/PR/Indian status.

So if your spouse is no longer alive or divorced and your parents are deceased, you can sponsor your adult child.

But you are right that it is strange that your living parents takes precedent over your own adult children. I rather want to sponsor my own adult children over my parents. They can contribute to Canada workforce and tax system to support canada health care.

I agree.
Actually, I found the same question on the internet from 2007. A person there quotes the old rules (which it seems are the same) but written clearly.

Canada immigration website says this with regards to family migration.

You can sponsor relatives or family members from abroad if they are:

*your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner 16 years of age or older;
*your parents or grandparents;
*your dependent children, including adopted children;
*children under 18 years of age whom you intend to adopt;
*your brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces or grandchildren who are orphans; under the age of 18 and not married or in a common-law relationship; or
*a relative of any age if you do not have an aunt, uncle or family member from the list above who you could sponsor or who is already a Canadian citizen, Indian or permanent resident.

So, yes, in subject case father has to be sponsoered first (as he is alive) and only he is inadmissible(future problems with medical and social burden to Canadian system) only then ANY OTHER relative regardless of age could be sponsored .

1, Immaterial if the parent is inadmissible, with a living parent, inadmissible or not, you can't sponsor an "other" relative.

Thank you.
So this

If a chosen relative is inadmissible, the sponsor may choose another relative

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf
page 19
means that if father passes away, and you chose ANY relative to sponsor and THIS relative is inadmissible, only then you could choose another relative? That makes sense.

And what about

(ii) whose application to enter and remain in Canada as a permanent resident the sponsor may otherwise sponsor.

What does it mean "in English"?

Hello Everyone, I know I haven't been on line in this website for long time, but I have promised that i will update the status of my application.

My application is eligible on 6th, May in Canada, and now the application is followed by Beijing, China.

The application is "in process", my husband and I, my little girl sent the medical examination to Beijing, CIC on 11th, June.

Now we are waiting for my news.

Thanks PMM anyway, if you don't support me, I have no courage to send out my application.

Wish every body who left a message to me have many many happy days.

Hi PPM!

My case is similar to MANDYSEP. I have an aunt who's willing to sponsor me in canada. She is a canadian citizen, no spouse and no child at all. Parents passed away already but still she had living siblings back in the philippines. She is alone in canada. Is there any chance that my aunt can sponsor through family class visa? Also, my aunt already talked with one of the agent in cic and they said that it is possible. Thank you in advance.

Your aunt appears to qualify under "alone clause" to sponsor any ONE relative, including her siblings and you.

Thank you screech. Btw, do you have any idea how long will be the processing time?

Sorry for the repeated 100-times question, but I am still confused:
- If I have parents who do not want to immigrate to Canada, and I have a sibling who is over 20 who wants to immigrate to Canada, can I sponsor my sibling?

thanks, and sorry again for the repeated question, this rule are written in a messed up way. Appreciate your help.

No - you can't. Your parents have to be both deceased in order for you to be able to sponsor your sibling.

Thanks Scylla, this still sounds messed up to me... But rules are rules. Appreciate your quick response!

These messed up rules regarding who can be sponsored have been in places for years.

I happen to agree with you. I rather the government replace the parents/grandparents sponsorship with sibling sponsorship. At least with siblings, they can at least contribute to Canada economy through working and paying taxes to support social services like health care.

Sponsored parents/grandparents are nothing more than free babysitters for the sponsor with free health care to boot at taxpayers' expense.
