Can my Uncle help me immigrate to Canada under Family Class Sponsorship?

[ross2u]

Greetings!

My uncle is now a Canadian citizen. He lives with his wife and daughter who is above 18 years.
I am a little confused as i have read in the CIC website that

"You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age if you meet all of the conditions, including:

• you don't have a living relative you could sponsor instead, such as a:
  • spouse
  • common-law partner
  • conjugal partner
  • son or daughter
  • parent
  • grandparent
  • brother or sister
  • uncle or aunt
  • nephew or niece"

Now can my Uncle sponsor me , my wife and 1 year old child to gain a PR? Since he has nobody else to sponsor instead, can he help us sponsor under Family Class?

No he can't sponsor you.

You missed out the second part of the requirement:

you don’t have any of the above-named relatives who is:

• a Canadian citizen
• a permanent resident
• registered Indian under the Indian Act
