Am I Eligible?

[Rosebud17]

Hello,
My boyfriend and I want to move to Canada and join our families. His grandad who lives in the UK with us has a Canadian passport, so does this make him eligible for Express entry? I on the other hand have an Auntie who is a Citizen there, has been for 60 years, could this make me Eligable for Express entry or for her to Sponsor me? If so, what is the process. Many thanks!

Express entry is an economic stream that is separate from spousal or family sponsorship. For economic streams you need to qualify independently: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/

For family sponsorship, read here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-who.asp#eligible

As mentioned, express entry is an economic immigration stream and has nothing to do with having Canadian family (although in some cases having family in Canada can add a few points to your profile to help a bit).

If his grandad is Canadian, where was his father born?

Assuming your aunt has family in Canada already, then she would be ineligible to sponsor you.
