Do you have a spouse or common law partner? Do you have any other family members in Canada?

As you are married, you cannot sponsor your son. He will need to qualify on his own merits to immigrate to Canada.

Agreed with the above - you can't sponsor him for PR.

If you want to try the work permit route, you will first need to obtain an approved LMIA for the job you are offering him. This process will involve advertising the job for at least a month to prove no Canadian could be found for the role, paying a $1,000 processing fee and then waiting a few months for the application to be processed.

You can't sponsor him because that's how the rules work. You would only be able to sponsor him if you had no spouse, no family in Canada and neither of your parents were still alive. Since you are married - you can't sponsor him.

Again, he'll have to qualify for PR on his own. If you can find a job offer for him in Canada that comes with an approved LMIA, that will certainly help.

Because in their eyes, he's a 32 year old man. Grown up enough that he should be able to take care of himself. Sponsoring by definition is providing support to someone. They don't see a fully grown man as someone needing your support, as he should be able to care for himself.

Sponsoring parents/grandparents is allowed as they're usually old and are dependent on their children. Sponsoring children is allowed as they can't take care of themselves. Sponsoring spouses is allowed as spouses should be caring for one another. But they also have a provision where you can sponsor someone older than 18 provided they have a physical/mental disability and are dependent on you.

However your son is presumably a fully grown, healthy man, thus should be able to care for himself (in CIC's eyes)

If he really wants to come here, tell him to start learning English and take up a skilled profession that Canada needs.

Thanks agen everybody who answer me, and told me what I have to do. I do not have family , relatives here, only my great husband, who understands me and want to help me too. He does not have relatives here, and one day when we are older , we need my son to take care for our business , for us. Some immigrants here know how I feel , during holidays, Christmas,New year.My heart is 50 % here , because I have nice husband, I like Canada, I am Canadian citizen, this is my country, I love it very much, but another 50 % are in the county where I was born because of my son. I am positive person and I believe that one day my son will be here and we will be together and together celebrate many holidays. All the best and happiness for everybody.
