STudy permit is the only way. She will have to pay international fees about $12K per year and she will need $10K per year for living expenses. She is not an orphan and will be over 18 before any adoption takes place.

Hi kababayan! She's not an orphaned, so in my opinion, you can't sponsor her. Study permit is the most likely possible option. Unless you want to spknsor your Father and she'll still be considered as his dependent but as the sponsorship for parents, gparents & other relatives is on hold, study permit is all you've got. But you may want to seek the professional's opinion. In Vancouver, we have "Immigration Services Society of BC" located at Drake Vancouver. You may want to call them and seek help. They can schedule you for an hour of free Lawyer Appointment.
