Sponsoring a specially abled sibling

[purik12]

Hi All,

Any help would be appreciated.

I am posting on behalf of my friend. She is a Canadian citizen and her mother and sister are in India. She wants to sponsor her specially abled sister to Canada in the near future but she is not sure how to do it.

One suggestion she got was to adopt her sister, but that can be done only if the age is less than 14 years.

Any leads on this will be appreciated.

Regards,
Kartik Puri

Does she have physical or mental disability?

She can’t. Her mother is still alive and takes precidence. Does she have a spouse and children as that would also exclude her from sponsoring her. Add to that potential medical inadmissibility and it would be an exceptionally long and difficult attempt.

Only option is to qualify to sponsor her mother and then include her sister as a dependent and hope IRCC allows this. The sister cannot be sponsored alone and adoption won't help.

She has a physical disability.
Just confirmed from my friend.

Adoption won't help as in because the age of the sibling or because of the fact that the mother will be given precidence?

Adoption isn't possible because: (1) sibling is too old; (2) sibling isn't an orphan (mother is still alive). Again, only option is to sponsor the mother and include the sister as a dependent in the mother's application.

Want to add that the sister would have to pass the medical inadmissibility criteria or both mother and sister would be denied. Canada has a huge shortage for care homes, daytime activities and home care for disabled adults so Canada is reluctant to add to the demand.

okay,
But will it be possible to sponsor the sibling in case the sibling is the only family left for my friend?

 

[Buletruck]

Does your friend have any family in Canada (husband, children, aunts, uncles, cousins)?

My friend does have any family in Canada.

 

[Buletruck]

Does or does not?

Sorry my bad.

My friend is not having any family in Canada.

If she has no family in Canada, she may be eligible to sponsor her if her parents and grandparents are deceased. She will still have to overcome the potential for medical inadmissibility.
