Hello,
My children finished their graduation in Canada and applied for immigration. They were in Canada since 2007. This period includes studies n working in Canada. My daughter's application for immigration was returned with the remark to apply thru express entry, which she did but not received any response till date n in the meantime moved out of Canada as work permit n visa expired. My son got his PR card recently. We would like to know if my son can sponsor his sister? He is not married, has no other family member on his sponsorship, has both parents living and working in another Country n his sister too who graduated in Canada is living n working in the same country with her parents. Can he sponsor his sister?
The Option 2 on the CIC website is confusing n hence I would like to clarify if my son who holds a PR card can sponsor his unmarried blood relation sister even though he has all his living parents n relatives living outside Canada, is not married n yes we are Indians. For your info, I've copied option 2 from the CIC website below :
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,
parent,
grandparent,
brother or sister,
uncle, aunt,
nephew or niece.
you do not have any of the above-named relatives who is a:
Canadian citizen,
permanent resident, or
registered Indian under the Indian
