sponsoring parent from within Canada?

[saram]

Hi Everybody,

I am wondering if there is a way to sponsor your parent from within Canada.
Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

i am sponsoring my parents and they are in canada.
the should be always legal and you will send the application to CPC mississauga and after 26 months you will get he answer

After 26 months, you get the answer if you are approved as a sponsor.  If you are, the file goes to the visa office for more processing.  At http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp#n1 you can see the explanation of the 26 months, first stage only.  To see the processing time for the 2nd stage, look at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/08-fc-parents.asp
