Sponsoring brother

[supreme]

Hi everyone! I want to sponsor my brother, 35 years old. He is invalid, the hand is injured. Will this fact have any influence on the case?
Thanks

Hi,

Read this clips from CIC website:http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-who.asp#eligible

Who can be sponsored

You can sponsor:

Brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship

Note: you can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.

Who cannot be sponsored

Brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.

So, no chance to bring him here...

Take a look at the Provincial Nominee Programs. If you live in Saskatchewan or Manitoba, you can sponsor a brother. He will have to pass a medical to be admissable. If he has a medical condition that the government believes will make him a burden on the health care system or welfare system, he will be refused. An injured hand would most likely not be serious enough to cause him to be rejected.

Thank you very much for the advice. I'll think over it.
