You can't sponsor them through family class since you have a husband.

What province do you live in? It may be possible for them to apply through one of the provincial nominee programs depending on where you're located.

You may be able to help them get a job offer so they can apply for a work permit and later immigration. Preferably it should be a skilled job. There are very few ways to immigrate for low skilled workers.

If you are in Manitoba, they would get points under Manitoba PNP for a close relative who is ready to help them settle in MB.

If you are in SK, there is a family stream PNP but still requires them to have a skilled job offer.

Hi Scylla
Thanks for the reply, I live in Toronto. I am married, so I guess there won't be chances as a family class!
What is the provincial nominee program and how does it work? Please tell me.
Thanks again

Since you live in Toronto - you can't sponsor your brother or sister.

They will have to qualify to immigrate independently.

A provincial nominee program is an immigration class run by each province in order to bring those they feel they need. Ontario does not have a program that allows you to sponsor adult brothers and sisters so forget that.

They either have to apply on their own or at the most, you may be able to help them get a job offer which will help them either apply for their immigration or get a work permit. They should have graduated something and have at least a couple of years work experience before they can apply.

In order for an employer to want to hire them and also to have the ability to apply for a work permit for them, they must have skills and work experience. First they need to work on that and then you have to see what you can do about getting them jobs.
