Sponsor my nephew older than 18

[Pinkchocolate21]

I would like to sponsor my nephew (27y/o and not married) to come in Canada. I am single and separated and no relatives here in Calgary, my daughters was so close to my nephew and he helped me took care of them when they were a babies. He was my sister’s son on her first marriage and he was abandoned by his parents that’s why he mostly with us when we were back home. His Mom found another man and living in japan with her daughter. I do not have any family nor relatives and friends here with me in Calgary. I would like to know if I can sponsor him to come here.

Are your children in canada, or do they hold a PR or citizenship?

Yes, we are.

 

[scylla]

Yes, we are.

Sponsoring your nephew isn't possible. He will have to qualify for PR on his own through an economic stream like Express Entry once he has enough education and work expeirence, etc. to qualify.

I have question though it’s stated this on the website. I do no have any relatives here in Calgary but have aunt in Vancouver but we are not close to each other. And my marital status is separated. That’s why I am thinking to sponsor my nephew.

Am I qualify for that situation?

 

[Copingwithlife]

Am I qualify for that situation?

You cannot sponsor him

If he qualifies, yes.

As already said, no. You have children and Canadian relatives, both of which make you ineligible to sponsor him.

 

[scylla]

You have children. You don't qualify.

Yes - he can certainly apply for Express Entry. He needs to have around 470 points to be selected.
