Options to bring my sister and her kids to Canada after her husbands demise

[chocotruffle]

Hi All,
My friend who is a Canadian citizen and has his own consulting and recruiting company in Toronto, is looking to explore options to bring his recently widowed sister(early thirties) and her kids (son -11, daughter -3) from India to Canada. His brother in law passed away just last month.
He wants to know if he can do it by one of the following two options :
1. By offering a job to his sister, in his company and then file for her work visa and her kids visas.
2. By enrolling his sister in an educational program in some university in Toronto, but he is not sure if she will be allowed to bring her kids with her on a student visa.

Please let me know if there is any other option by which it can be accomplished.

Thanks in advance for the response, hoping to resolve this issue soon, as the family is already dealing with a big tragedy.

Regards,
Sulabh.

1. He cannot offer a job to his sister. He must go through the LMIA process and then prove that his sister is a better candidate than an equally qualified Canadian citizen, or permanent resident.
