My Uncle sent us the KIT (application forms) these are the forms that are also downloadable in www.cic.gc.ca
I will be sending this KIT with correct information back to my Uncle with attached school credentials and certificates together
with NSO birth certificates. This was the same procedure he did in sponsoring some of our relatives and fortunately they are now
living in Canada with him.
Any comments and reactions....? Pls..Thank you. Ü

Hi
PMM
Suggest you read www.cic.gc.ca and see just who can be sponsored. An Uncle cannot sponsor a niece unless she is under 18 and an orphan. Me thinks you are going to be sorely disappointed.GRACE ANNE said:My Uncle sent us the KIT (application forms) these are the forms that are also downloadable in www.cic.gc.ca

Sponsoring an eligible relative
You can sponsor certain relatives if you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada and if you are 18 years of age or older.
You may not be eligible to sponsor a relative if you:
failed to provide the financial support you agreed to when you signed a sponsorship agreement to sponsor another relative in the past
defaulted on a court-ordered support order, such as alimony or child support
received government financial assistance for reasons other than a disability
were convicted of a violent criminal offence, any offence against a relative or any sexual offence—depending on circumstances, such as the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred and whether a pardon was issued
defaulted on an immigration loan—late or missed payments
are in prison or
have declared bankruptcy and have not been released from it yet.
Other factors not mentioned in this list might also make you ineligible to sponsor a relative.
When you sponsor a relative to become a permanent resident of Canada, you must promise to support that person and their dependants financially. Therefore, you have to meet certain income requirements. If you have previously sponsored relatives who later turned to the Canadian government for financial assistance, you may not be allowed to sponsor another person. Sponsorship is a big commitment, so you must take this obligation seriously.
To be a sponsor:
You and the sponsored relative must sign a sponsorship agreement that commits you to provide financial support for your relative if necessary. This agreement also states that the person becoming a permanent resident will make every effort to support themselves. Dependent children under age 22 do not have to sign this agreement. Quebec residents must sign an “undertaking” with the province of Quebec—a contract binding the sponsorship.
You must promise to provide financial support for the relative and any other eligible relatives accompanying them for a period of three to ten years, depending on their age and relationship to you. This time period begins on the date they become a permanent resident.
If you live in Quebec, you must also meet Quebec’s immigration sponsorship requirements after Citizenship and Immigration Canada approves you as a sponsor. For more information, see the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
If you are a Canadian citizen who lives abroad and plans to return to Canada when your relatives immigrate, you may sponsor your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or your dependent children who have no dependent children. For more information, see Spouses, partners and dependent children in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
To sponsor any other eligible relatives (for example, parents and grandparents), you must be living in Canada.
Who can be sponsored
You can sponsor:
parents
grandparents
brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship
another relative of any age or relationship if none of the above relatives could be sponsored, and you have no other relatives who are Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act or permanent residents and
accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children

In addition to this, one of the emails sent to me by my Uncle stated that HE will be sponsoring us (including my husband and two kids)
as an immigrant, and he is asking me to prepare a copy of birth of certificate showing my Dad's complete name. together with some important documents needed and included in the Cheklist (the KIT or the FORMs) he sent me.
Is this process falls under Family Class Sponsorship?

Hi
PMM
Unless you Uncle is single, never married, his parents and grandparents are dead, has no children, and does not have an brother/sister/aunt/uncle/niece/nephew in Canada he cannot use the section you are quoting.GRACE ANNE said:In addition to this, one of the emails sent to me by my Uncle stated that HE will be sponsoring us (including my husband and two kids)

I looked into sponsoring my brother and I was told by immigration that I can not sponsor him unless..
a) I have no relatives already in Canada (which is true)
b) I have no kids (which is true)
c) our parents are dead (which is false, although they are not interested to immigrate which doesn't seem to matter)
d) if a, b and c were true, I could still only sponsor him as an individual, not to come with his spouse/family

Hi Grace Anne,
I don't think Sponsorship applies to your case. What your uncle can do to get you to Canada is to use the Provincial Nominee process. He can do this as long as he is not in Ontario or Quebec. You can check out the topic about Provincial Nominee on this site too. The Provincial Nominee process is way much faster than being sponsored.

Hi Luvregina,
Thanks for the info, I think thats the one that my Uncle is going to do. He's living in Saskatchewan right now where he
has the Home Care. Thank you very much. Right now Im in the process of sending all these documents (the Checklist/Kit/Forms) right back to him.

You're welcome.
It's a good thing your uncle is in Saskatchewan, because the provincial nominee process is much faster in this province compared to the other provinces. The Labour Minister of Canada was in Manila last month with several employers from Saskatchewan to encourage more Filipinos to apply for work in this province. He said they are trying to shorten the processing time from 6 months to 3-4 months. If this push through, you can get your visas in less than one year from the time your uncle filed your application in Regina (Capital of Saskatchewan). Several POEA accredited recruitment agencies are working with these employers to find Filipino workers. since you have an Uncle who will sponsor you and your family, I encourage you to go through this path. Because if you were successfully sponsored by your uncle, you get to have a permanent resident visa plus you bring your whole family with you.
Whereas if an employer in Saskatchewan gets you through the provincial nominee process, you only get a temporary working visa. You have to be in Canada for at least 6 months before you can apply for a permanent resident ID. Also, if you were nominated by an employer, you can't bring your family. You have to sponsor your family later after you become a permanent resident.
There is a small percentage of Filipino population in Saskatchewan, but almost all of them were able to make a better life in this province. Goodluck to you and your family.
