Only if you have no spouse, no children, your parents are no longer alive, and you have no other family in Canada.

Just to add...

If the above conditions are met, then a niece can be sponsored. A cousin cannot.

Can you sponsor 2 nieces at a time?

If you were able to sucessfully sponsor a family member, when can you sponsor another one?
You can't because you would no longer qualify to sponsor any relative because you have sponsored a niece. You are no longer alone in Canada. You have a relative with you. Remember the niece you plan to sponsor has to be orphaned. Her parents are no longer alive.
