How to apply for Professional Immigrant also have blood relation in Canada!

[hurrah]

Hi,

Scenario
I have completed my bachelors in Business management. 16 year degree completed. My Brother who is also British National has a Permanent Residency in Ontario, Canada. Moved with his family (wife and kids) last year. He is earning handsome and has a proper Managerial Job.

I am looking forward to apply move Canada. My Mum lives here in home country (Non UK). I have several visits in UK as a visitor in the last couple of years and before.

Now, if I have to move to Canada, how can I apply as I think I cannot apply for Family sponsorship visa, because it is for siblings who are dependant and under 18 I guess.

I want to find a job when I reach there, and start applying. Meanwhile I can support my expenses from my Land Income, Building Rentals and Freelancing. I have a 2 year work experience as a manager in one of the most reputable positions and companies.

Now how can I get the Permanent Residency or Professional Immigration to Canada.

I will highly appreciate for helping me out.

Thanks

Your brother cannot sponsor you through the family class stream.

You will have to qualify to immigrate independently through the federal skilled worker or one of the provincial streams. Depending on which stream you apply through, you may get additional points for having a brother in Canada. Start reading here:

It is expected to reopen in January 2013. They announced the proposed new law last Friday - see http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/new-fsw-points-criteria-announced-new-federal-skilled-trades-class-fstc-t115576.0.html for a summary and links to some relevant sources.
