I have siblings in Canada. They are PRs. Can my mom and me get sponsored by them?

Your siblings can sponsor your mother if they meet the financial requirements. They cannot sponsor you. You are too old to be included in your mother's application as a dependent.

No - your mother cannot sponsor you once she becomes a PR.

If you wish to become a PR, you will have to qualify and immigrate on your own. Information about Canada's immigration programs can be found here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp

Oh - and to answer your question, if you were 18 years old or younger, you could be included as a dependent in your mother's sponsorship application.

Yes - you will get additional points under the Express Entry program for having siblings living in Canada.

I've read that i (a 24 y.o) would be elligible if i were under 18 to be sponsored by a sibling.
Or is this information false?

And if my siblings sponsor my mom can my mother sponsor me when she becomes a PR?

Just to let you know, only one of your siblings can sponsor your mother. They can all submit their names in for the lotto but only one of them can sponsor if there was a chance 2 or more siblings got selected.
