Hi there...I am from Philippines and my mother in law is living in Vancouver and she obtained Canadian citizenship for 10 years now.is it possible that she can sponsor us? the problem is she is using her maiden name.different from my husband's surname.thank you for the help.

She can only sponsor you if she has no spouse or common law partner, no other children who are already in Canada, her parents are deceased and she has no other family members in Canada (e.g. brother, sister, aunt, uncle).

Yes she don't have parents.she has a partner but he died last 2015

 

[scylla]

Is she working?

 

[mieraguarte]

Yes she is... and she is alone in Canada.she don't any family member with her

Is she making at least $37,234 and has she filed her taxes and declared this income?

If so, she can sponsor you.

Really that's a great news... is it possible that my baby and husband can go with me? or shall I apply first?

All three of you would be included in the application. Your mother in law cannot sponsor you. She would sponsor her child (your husband) and then you and your baby would be included in the application as a dependent. Because you have a baby - the income requirement she needs to meet is higher - $43,301.

It doesn't matter. The husband's birth certificate would list the mother's maiden name anyway.
