I'm a Canadian who sponsored my husband 1year ago to Canada he has adjusted very well and is working earning a good income.
I had added his three siblings as additional family members to his PR applications before, and would now like for them to join us here in Canada under humanitarian grounds.
our major concern is the youngest who is 19 and my husbands have been the sole caregiver and guardian for him since the passing of their mother seven years ago.
Although we have both been taking care of him financially he is struggling emotionally not able to cope with the sudden changes and, not adjusting well to no longer having his brother and myself around, as his sole support system.
the other two siblings are 23 and 25 and are in difficulty as well as they also relayed heavily on our family structure and financial supplement, providing shelter and food, internet access etc.
they have depended substantially on the financial support of my husband and me since 2010 before the coming of ages and is unable to be financially self-support themselves due to the volatile conditions and economic state back home in their country of Jamaica.
our combined income is strong and other than the lonely person rule factor and the age of a few of his siblings
I'm not sure where to start.
I would like some direction on how i would go about the application, would it be me as the sponsor for my husband and request an exception or special consideration to add his siblings as dependents from his original application
or
apply for permanent residence for each of them individually
or
my husband sponsors them under another relative asking that the loney person exemption
