Any advantage?

[nssnick]

I have my real sister as a permanent resident, living in Toronto at present. Will that be of any advantage to me in case of settling there permanently on CEC or any other basis? I am going on student visa?

How does that help while filing for permanent residency?

Thanks..!! Anyone else with some expert advice?

She cant sponsor you unless you're parents are no more. She can sponsor your parents right now but not you. That's how it works basically.

When you apply through CEC, you will get some points for her being your sister. That's about it.

Agreed - she can't sponsor you. However depending on how you apply for PR - you might get extra points for having family in Canada. You won't get extra points for your sister if you apply for PR through CEC because the CEC program does not function on a points basis. You will, however, get points for your sister if you apply for PR through FSW.

So, all in all,The result is - that my sister's PR is of no benefit to me if I come on student visa to Canada? True? RIGHT?

Not really, it's more of a pass/fail system.

Points come into play in the Skilled Worker program. I ment FSW in my last post, my bad.

Yes, no benefit immigration wise if you plan to use CEC.

I dont understand these guys..but my friend got settled because his sister got pr in canada...she sponsored the whole family

I think there are two type of sponsorship. one , which allows only parents or grandparents to sponsor in Canada this category opens every two or three years. Another one is sponsoring family members one by one which is open throughout the year.
