I have a family of 5, two of which are Canadian citizens and the other three are PR.
I want to sponsor my sister who is 39 years old, married and has a daughter.
My mother is still alive in the same location as my sister.
Also I do not have any relatives in canada?

Can I Sponsor her?

No - you cannot sponsor your sister. She will have to qualify for PR on her own through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry.

- You have no spouse / common law partner
- You have no children
- Both of your parents are deceased
- You have no other family members in Canada (e.g. aunt, uncle, etc.)
