Niece Sponsorship
- Thread starter Tel25
- Start date
Only under very limited circumstances...
How old is she? Is she an orphan (i.e. both parents deceased)?
Do you (the uncle) have a spouse and/or children? Are either of your parents still alive? Do you have any family members in Canada?
She is 25, both parents are still alive but the uncle wants to help her migrate to Canada.
He's married with one child. Mother is alive but based in the Philippines. His wife have relatives in Calgary
If your uncle has family in Canada (married with kids) and a mother, he is not eligible to sponsor his niece. She must immigrate on her own merits.
As said above, she cannot be sponsored by her uncle. She will need to qualify to immigrate on her own through an economic immigration program like Express Entry.
Hey Scylla,
I have a similar question. I intend to sponsor my orphaned 13yr old niece. I and my wife are expecting our first baby in May. My parents are alive and almost 80. Any advice?
As long as you meet the conditions, you can start the process.

Assuming both of her parents are deceased, you would follow this process:
