Hi Guys,

Is it possible to sponsor a parent along with her dependant child, which is my sister? My sister is 14 and my mom is a single parent.

Hi

Provided you meet all of the requirements to sponsor, yes. Your sister would be included as a dependent.

Note that the lottery has closed for this year, so if you qualify now as a sponsor, you will need to wait until next year to submit the interest form.

Great! Thank you so much for the info. How long is the usual processing time for parent sponsorship? And can they visit while the application is processing?

Before you can apply, you'll need to meet the minimum income for three years in a row. Once you qualify, you'll have to enter the lottery and hope you're selected (only a limited number of applications are accepted each year). If you're selected, then you apply.

Hi there, im in a similar dilemna. I wish to sponsor my father and my dependent brother. I have read alot and found out that i cannot sponsor them without the PNG program. But if i apply for super tourist visa, will my brother be included in it? Will he be able to come as well?
Appreciate any advice provided.

No brother is not eligible for a super visa, only your parent. Your brother cannot come and live in Canada on a TRV but visit for up to 6 months. How old is your brother? PGP is a lottery that hasn’t been open to new profiles since 2020. It is a lottery for 15k spots and the current 2020 pool has over 100k in it.
