Sister's daughter sponsorship

[KamSut]

Hi All,
I am planning to sponsor my sister's daughter who is under 18 years of age to Canada. Would I be able to do so under Family class sponsorship?

My Sister is divorced.

thanks in advance.

In one of your earlier posts you say that you have a spouse, so the answer is no.

I don't think its possible to sponsor her

Thank you for confirming.

You can only sponsor if your niece is orphaned. Here's an excerpt from the cic.gc.ca.

Option 1 – Orphaned close relatives

You can sponsor close relatives, related by blood or adoption, such as brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren only if they meet all of the following conditions:

They are orphaned,
They are under 18, and
They do not have a spouse, common law partner, or conjugal partner.


Do you happen to know if some other province is inviting applications for this case?

No - they aren't.

She will have to wait until she is an adult and qualify to immigrate independently
