I have a cousin in Nicaragua who would like to immigrate to Canada with her family (her husband and 3 children). Is it possible for me as a Canadian citizen to sponsor my cousin and her family?
Can you sponsor cousin and her family to Canada

Are you single, no children, no parents/g
Only under special conditions. Are you single, no children, no parents/grandparents? No family in Canada? Is this a first cousin? If so, maybe. You take on a 20 year commitment and must show you have income to support them.
Hi, Similar my case I am in Pakistan & my brother is Permanent Resident of Canada can he sponsor me & my mother together for visit visa or should I apply for Student visa..?
How is your case similar at all. The question. is about sponsoring for PR as a Lonely Canadian. You want to come to visit so very different. There is no such thing as sponsorship for a TRV. If you are over 22, you apply separately from your mother with your own accounts, travel history, ties to home country. If you want a student visa, ask questions under International students. First step is getting admission.

Thanks for your reply,
Defiantly, I will apply separately from my mother. what should I do for LMIA if I come through visit visa..?
What does LMIA have to do with TRV? You have an approved LMIA? If so apply for a closed work permit proving you can do the job - ECA, IELTS, employment letters.
You are all over the map. Ask LMIA questions under Foreign Workers, TRV under Visitors, Study under International Students.
you have hijacked a thread about family sponsorship.

Thanks for your reply.
Actually I am planing to come there so there is confusion, what should I do.?
How are you coming to Canada? See my note above and ask your question in the appropriate thread. Before you ask a question, do some research on TRV, study permit, LMIA. You have hijacked a thread not even relevant to you.
Sorry… me again at this present time I am separated and in middle divorce process. Would it be possible for me to sponsor my cousin and her family.
And also, I’m wondering for how long am I financially responsible for them.
They have previously applied as a family to come to Canada themselves and were denied. They had also applied as skilled workers and were denied. Please help me and guide me as to suggestions. I truly appreciate it.
No. You are still married. So your parents, grandparents are deceased? No children? No siblings? No family in Canada? Responsible up to 20 years. Google - sponsor family canada or lonely Canadian - to get requirements.
Are either of your parents still alive? Do you have any other family members in Canada like a sibling, aunt or uncle?
You cannot sponsor your cousin. Even if you get divorced, this still won't be possible.
The cousin needs to qualify and apply for PR independently through an economic immigration program like Express Entry.
