This is what CIC website states:
" When you sponsor one of these relatives to become permanent residents of Canada, you must support them financially. This means you have to meet certain income guidelines.

If you have sponsored relatives to come to Canada in the past, and they have later asked the government for financial help, you may not be allowed to sponsor another person. Sponsorship is a big commitment, so you must take it seriously.

To be a sponsor you must:
•agree in writing to give financial support to your relative, if they need it ◦for a spouse or partner, this lasts for three years from the date they become a permanent resident, and
◦for a dependent child, this lasts for 10 years, or until the child turns 25, whichever comes first.

Your relative must also agree to try to support themselves."
