PLEASE CLARIFY

[Kitoko90]

Hi,

I need clarification on this please. this is in regards to family sponsorship

Can my Canadian born cousin sponsor her half/brother

details about her
1) she's not married nor has kids
2) she and her sisters are born in Canada, therefore already Canadians
3) her parents and grandparent are Canadians
3) most of our aunts and uncles are Canadian or European

based on her details can she sponsor her half brother?
my cousins father didn't declare his son when he came to Canada as his mom didn't want the child to come to Canada. unfortunately she has died and he's all alone back home.

She does have Canadian citizen relatives who fit the categories mentioned, so sponsoring will not work.
She could look into whether any of the provincial nominee programs would be suitable. Which province does she live in? Otherwise, the half-brother should look into immigrating on his own as a worker. It might take a few years of study. In addition, if he came to Canada to study, it is often possible to then immigrate.

We live in Ontario.
Haven't heard of this provincial nominee program.
will take a look and see if he qualifies.

greatly appreciate it.
