Family Sponsorship

[Stuart77]

I am in Canada on a visitors Visa. I have a sibling who is a permanent Resident.
Under what conditions can my sibling sponsor me.
And if possible do I need to leave prior to the application process. I'm using the below link as reference (Other relative Section)

is sibling married/have kids? Are your parents and grandparents deceased? Do you have no other family in Canada - uncle, cousin?

 

[Stuart77]

Sibling is married. Parents and grand parents are deceased.

[Stuart77]

Sibling also has a kid thats already a Permanent Resident

 

[Naturgrl]

Sibling is married. Parents and grand parents are deceased.

Your sibling cannot sponsor you as he has a spouse and child. You need to immigrate on your merits through immigration programs.

Well, what read on the website says its possible as long as sibling doesn't have any other person he can sponsor. Unless I'm wrong

You are reading it wrong…
You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age, if you meet all of these conditions:

• you (the person who wants to sponsor your relative) don'thave a living relative you could sponsor instead, such as a:
  • spouse
  • common-law partner
  • conjugal partner
  • son or daughter
  • parent
  • grandparent
  • orphaned brother or sister
  • orphaned nephew or niece
  • orphaned grandchild

Your brother is You in the above. He cannot sponsor because he has a spouse and child. The program is called the “Lonely Canadian” program and only open to a person in Canada who is not married, has not children, parents/grandparents are deceased and have no other relatives.

Did you read the examples in that link? Both examples mentioned the sponsors are single, have no children and parents and grandparents all deseased.

Example 1: Eligible to sponsor an aunt

I did

Then you saw that in the example Veronica is single and has children in order to be a sponsor under this lonely Canadian stream

Example 1: Eligible to sponsor an aunt
Veronica doesn’t have a spouse or a common-law partner. She has no children, and lives in Canada as a permanent resident. Her parents and grandparents have all passed away and she doesn’t have any relatives in Canada who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents or registered Indians. Veronica would like to sponsor her aunt Betty, who she is very close with. Her aunt Betty is married and has a daughter.

Veronica meets the requirements to sponsor her aunt because she doesn’t have:

• a close living relative she could sponsor instead (such as a spouse, partner, child, orphaned sibling, parent or grandparent) and
• any other relative such as an aunt who is a citizen, permanent resident or registered Indian of Canada.

On the application, Betty will be designated as the principle applicant and her husband will be designated as a dependant.

Betty’s daughter can be included on the application only if she qualifies as a dependent child. If her daughter is older than the age limit or she doesn’t meet all the requirements, she can’t be added to Betty’s application and will have to immigrate to Canada on her own.

you (the potential sponsor) don’t have any relatives (aunt or uncle or any of the relatives listed above), who is a:

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

And these are part of the "relatives listed above"

• spouse
• common-law partner
• conjugal partner
• son or daughter

So you know that he cannot sponsor you

so it's literally means if the sponsor is alone (no spouse, common-law partner, no kids, no parents, and no other relatives) then they can sponsor someone who is his/her relatives by blood or adoption, which is extremely rare.

It's not meant to be a program for 'common' or frequent usage. For those without relatives they can sponsor, AND no 'relatives/other relatives' in Canada.

That's why it's called lonely Canadian.
