    Posted: 27 Dec 2017 at 4:13pm
Hi there,
I am a Canadian Citizen and want to sponsor my real sister who is Pakistani national, divorced, having two kids under age 18. My parents are no more alive. I went through official Canadian Immigration site which reads as follows:
"Who you can sponsor
Depending on your circumstances, there are two options for who you can sponsor.

Option 1: orphaned close relatives
You can sponsor close relatives only if they meet all conditions. This means they must be:

  • orphaned
  • under 18
  • without a:
    • spouse
    • conjugal partner
    • common-law partner
  • related to you by blood or adoption, such as:
    • brothers or sisters
    • nephews or nieces
    • grandchildren
Option 2: other relative
You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age if you meet all of the conditions, including:

  • you don't have a living relative you could sponsor instead, such as a:
    • spouse
    • common-law partner
    • conjugal partner
    • son or daughter
    • parent
    • grandparent
    • brother or sister
    • uncle or aunt
    • nephew or niece
  • you don’t have any of the above-named relatives who is:
    • a Canadian citizen
    • a permanent resident
    • registered Indian under the Indian Act
If the relative you want to sponsor has a spouse, partner, or dependent children who will come with them to Canada you must include them on the same sponsorship application."

I am not able to understand that under which option my sister falls. I would appreciate it very much if someone confirms that whether I can sponsor my sister or not under Family Class Sponsorship?
Thanks,
Omar

    1. You say your parents are deceased. If you are married,have children, of have a brother/sister/Aunt/Uncle/Niece/Nephew in Canada, then you can't sponsor your sister. If you have none of the above, then you can sponsor.
