Lonely Canadian program

[Vivian66]

She is senior, I dont think she meets the Income requirements, but she has some savings, abd her daughter can show her financial independent

Unfortunately savings are not counted for LICO. Her daughter's financial independence is unfortunately irrelevant. The aunt must meet the minimum income requirements to qualify as a sponsor. Since she cannot do that, this program is not an option. The daughter will need to qualify and apply for PR on her own merits.

Thank you for your reply. We have tried, but not able to see other solutions.

In that case it sounds like the daughter will have to be satisfied with just visiting.

Please help, my 70 year old aunt , a Canadian citizen who has lived in Canada for 20 years. Her husband died long time ago, and she doesnt have any relative, or family in Canada.
She has an adult daughter who is 40 years old, divorced . She would like to sponsor her daughter to Canada.

Can she sponsor her as a lonely Canadian program. She is currently receiving Old age security, and retirement benefits around 1800 a month. Her daughter is visiting her in Canada on a Canada visitor visa for 6 months.
Thank you for your help.

Don't believe she will have enough income to sponsor her daughter. She could have done that when her husband passed away a long time ago (she may still be young and still had income)
Too bad that she didn't think of doing that until she really needs someone to take care of her now at age 70.
Her daughter will need to just visit. And make sure the daughter purchase health insurance to cover her own emergency medical insurance.

Thank you for your reply. We have tried, but not able to see other solutions.

Before you drop the idea, however, strongly suggest you check the aunt's ACTUAL income as reported and not just go by the general statements about OAS and pension income. Look up the ACTUAL line item on her tax returns that IRCC requests.

While it may be unlikely, income from savings and the like can add up.

You are not eligible for the program. She cannot have any grandparents or parents living or any family in Canada (siblings, children, spouse).

living means ALIVE. Unless both of your parents and your grandparents pass away, she cannot sponsor someone under "other family member" aka Lonely Canadian route.

It doesn't matter where your parents are living. The fact that at least one of them is living means your sister cannot sponsor you.

Your parents are alive (not dead) so you are not eligible.
