This is not true by the way. You can sponsor your parents if you were sponsored as a spouse without having to wait 5 years. The sponsorship ban only applies to sponsoring spouses and not other members of the family class. Check the IMM1344 form under "Sponsorship Eligibility Assessment" Question 5. It says: "In the five years preceding your application, did you become a permanent resident after being sponsored as a spouse, common law, or conjugal partner? If you answer yes to Question 5 and you are sponsoring a spouse, you are not eligible to be a sponsor and you should NOT submit your application.
