If your sibling is an orphan under 18 years (unmarried and not in a common-law union relationship), you can sponsor your sibling (if you are eligible). If your sibling is older than 18 years old, your sibling can try to immigrate based on their own merit as a Skilled Worker/(Independent) or other business categories such as Entrepreneur, Investor, or Self-employed. If your sibling applies as a skilled worker/independent or self-employed, they receive five bonus points for having a relative in Canada under Adaptability.

Thank you for your reply. My sister is older than 18 years old, so she can only apply on her own merit? So she has to take the language test ? This worries me. Because her english is not good:(

She'll need to practice then I'm afraid!!

If you sponsor your parents, they can add your sister as dependant. If she's under 22 she needs to be unmarried, if she's older she must be enrroled in school and totally dependant on your parents.

However, parent sponsorship has been paused for 2 years, they are not accepting new applications.
