Sponsor your siblings

[rneves]

Hello!

I am a Permanent Resident of Canada. I immigrated a year ago under the Federal Skilled Workers Program.

I am alone in Toronto (no husband, no kids and no family - only friends) and I am willing to sponsor my sister´s Permanent Resident Visa under the Family Class program, but she is 36 years old.

I understand there is a possibility of sponsoring one family member rather than your parents, grandparents, spouse, children or under aged orphaned siblings / nephews / nieces if you meet certain criteria, but I couldn´t find the criteria for that anywhere on the immigration website.

My parents are alive and well, but not willing to immigrate to Canada. She would be the only family member I could sponsor - not for possibility, but for willingness to come.

Did anybody here ever had a similar situation?

Could you help me find information regarding this?

Thank you!
