Sponsoring disable brother

[naz2007]

Hiya
Can anyone in canada with PR status sponsor her brother who got medical disability and is of 17 years of age.
He is not mentally retarded but got physical disability
For the sake of better education and opportunities can he be sponsored?
What are the basic requirements?

You have children and a husband in Canada. As a result, sponsoring your brother isn't possible.

And even if you could sponsor him, it's quite likely he would be refused based on the fact that he would be a burden to the Canadian health care system / social support systems.

So the short answer is unfortunately no.

If the OP lives in Saskatchewan or Manitoba(?), can't they sponsor a relative for permanent residence? Also, without specifics of the 'medical disability', it is not possible to know if it could be considered a "burden to health care system/social support systems". If their care won't be above the amount spent on a Canadian citizen with the same condition, then they won't be considered to be "excessive demand", isn't that so?

Ofcourse, this is if it's even possible to sponsor the brother in either province.

Not quite, they compare the applicant against an average Canadian... not a Canadian that has the same condition. An average Canadian costs something like $6,300 per year to healthcare, so excessive demand will kick in if the applicant will have expected annual medical costs higher than that amount for a 5 or 10 year period.

Anyways from previous post OP is in Ontario, so won't be applicable anyways.

No - that's not how excessive demand is defined. See Rob_TO's explanation above. The $6,300 / year is the key component.
