Are you being sponsored or are you sponsoring? If being sponsored, who is the person in Canada that has no family members, and your blood relation to them? Has that person been approved as a sponsor.

So since your parents and grandparents are deceased and you have no family in Canada (single, no children, no family like aunts, uncles, cousins), then you can sponsor them. Look at requirements in IRCC site.

Hi @Naturgrl, @scylla, i also have an Adult brother who is single & has no kids. How will this affect sponsoring my adult sister(spouse & her kid)?

As long as he's not in Canada and not a Canadian PR or citizen, there's no impact.

I am being sponsored and the sponsor has been approved since 2021. It appears the last time, my file was updated was 2022. Series of Gcm notes has been sent and none has been replied. I find it hard to understand what might be the problem .

Unfortunately this program has very long processing times. I don't think it's possible for any of us to guess the status of your application.

Has your sponsor ordered GCMS notes or you? If your sponsor hasn't tried yet, then I would suggest that they order the notes.

If you feel the processing time has gone beyond what is reasonable, you can also look into hiring an immigration lawyer in Canada to do a writ of mandamus and try to force IRCC to finalize their decision.

Sponsor might also request info through MP's office. (Might not get any different info but inquiring about the delays with gcms might help, too)

Has done the ordering but no reply for morethan 5 times. I think hiring a lawyer is the next phase.

Try your MP. If gcms notes have been ordered with no reply, sponsor should also be contacting (complaining to) the access to information ombudsman.
