Out of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants Canada receives each year from the family class sponsorship, the majority enter through the Spouses, Partners, and Children category, with a lesser percentage through the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP). However, in some circumstances, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will allow you to sponsor other family members as well.
Citizens, permanent residents, and anyone registered under Canada's Indian Act who is 18 years old and above are eligible to sponsor their family for permanent residency in Canada.
Other than spouses, partners, parents, or grandparents, you have two more choices for who you can sponsor. You have to meet the following criteria if you want to sponsor an orphaned brother, sister, nephew, niece, or grandchild, according to IRCC:
Dead Parents
Blood Relatives
Or Adopted Relatives of Yours
Under the Age of Eighteen
Unmarried, neither Do They Have a Common-Law or Conjugal Connection.
IRCC, on the other hand, states that if any of the following apply, you will not be able to sponsor this family member:
There Is a Parent Still Alive
The Parents’ Whereabouts Are Unknown
Abandoned by Their Parents
Are They Being Cared for by Someone Else While One or Both of Their Parents Are Still Alive?
Both of their parents are imprisoned or detained.
You can also sponsor one relative of any age who is linked by blood or adoption if the following conditions are met:
The sponsor is a Canadian Citizen/Permanent Resident/ person registered under Canada's Indian Act
The sponsor does not have a living relative who can be sponsored instead
There are no relatives of the sponsor who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents or are registered under the Indian Act.
If the relative you're sponsoring has a spouse, partner, or dependent children, you'll need to include them on the same sponsorship application.
