I am mystified

[Regina]

No doubt, everyone remembers the tragedy happened with Robert Dzekanski at the Vancouver Airport.
I have children too and I sympothize with his mother very much.

At the same time, being an immigrant myself, I thought I knew immigration law of Canada quiite a bit but this case, in terms of immigratiion, mystified  my a lot!!!

Dzekanski's mother has different from her son's last name because she is married.
Parents can sponsor their adult independent child if only the parent has NOBODY else in Canada, neither spouse nor any other relative...

Then  how could  Robert Dzekanski's married mother sponsor her 40-year-old son?

I think you answered your own question.

I do not see the answer..sorry..Do you mean,first, she sponsored him , and then got married DURING the time of his immigration process? But whether, in such case, she would not lose her right to sponsor a relative?

I am interested how it works in terms of immigration law. Is not it a fraud?

Sponsorship cases are assessed based on the status of those involved at the time the application was submitted.

When she submitted to sponsor her son, she must have met the necessary criteria.

Thank you.

I do not see the answer..

Sorry for not explaining.  As TaaDow said, he must have qualified at the time the application was filed or immigration wouldn't have approved it.
