Sponsor sister over 18 years old

[elgydium]

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone had already sponsored a sister or brother over 18 years old?

My situation is a follow, I am married to a born canadian citizen and do not have anyone I can sponsor in canada.
can I sponsor my 25 years old sister under those circumstances ?


CIC states :
(**Option 2 – Other relative

You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age if you meet all of the following conditions:

you do not have a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner, or one of the following living relatives you could sponsor instead:
son or daughter.......etc..... ***)

You cannot sponsor your sister. You do not meet the requirements of the "other relative" rule since you have a spouse.

Is there any province yet that has a sibling sponsorship program ? or anything I could do

You should ask your sister to immigrate as a skilled worker

Manitoba and Saskatchewan have PNP for which siblings are available. You'll have to look up requirements though.

One of them is you (sponsor) must've lived there for at least a year.
