Family SPONSOR from My Aunt and Uncle

[hemanth1983]

Sorry i am new to the CANADA PR Process. If this has been posted and discussed many times before, my apologies, please redirect me to a useful link or post. Again my sincere apologies..
Currently i am in India and applied for my WP back in May 2013 and finally got my WP approved this week.

Little background information about myself:
I am citizen of India
I completed my Bachelors degree in Computer science engineering in 2004.
I have been working in a MNC (Corporate firm) for almost 9 years now.

Last 5 years i have been in US (My company sent to US to work at my clients location), due to VISA challenges i have to return back to India, still continuing in the same company.

My company applied for my CANADA WP as soon as I returned back to India.
Currently my designation is Project Manager.
I will be travelling to CANADA as a intra company transfer and applied for CANADA WP under the Job category: 2174 Computer Programmer and Interactive Media Dev.

I am planning to initiate my CANADA PR process. My Aunt and Uncle are PR's of CANADA. Can they sponsor my PR?

Could you please share some details and information about CANADA PR process.

Can i initiate my PR process from India before travelling to CANADA?

From the information you provide, they can't sponsor you under Family Class Sponsorship.
There may be other routes available however. Possibly a provincial nomination program?

Your aunt and uncle definitely can't sponsor you.

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
- another relative of any age or relationship but only under specific conditions (see Note below)
- accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children).

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.

But if you apply under Skilled Worker Class, you may get extra points for having relatives in Canada.
