Family class-other relative are not common here, but to the extent there is info to compare, they take considerably longer than immediate family (spouse, dependent children) cases.

So unfortunately, the next step for some time is going to be waiting.

I'm waiting since early May 2021 after the medical, nothing else until now. Even docs requested, hasn't been updated in the system yet. Around 13 months later, though.

Good luck.

It's hard to say since the medical is usually done in the earlier part of the process. There are also application delays right now and everything is taking longer to process.

I don't know when you submitted your application. Before COVID, it was taking 2-3 years to process applications. You can probably expect at least 3 years now. So that will give you a general idea.

How does this Lonely Canadian Program work.
I have no spouse. No kids, my parents & grandparents are dead,
However I have sisters here in Canada. Can I use this Lonely program to sponsor a 25 years old nephew or I am not considered Lonely since I have siblings here in Canada.

No, you cannot sponsor as you have sisters in Canada.

Hi, can I sponsor my 40 year old brother unmarried to Canada under this program if I’m permanent resident single during the whole process. My parents and grandparents are deceased. I only have one unmarried brother and married sister back home. I want to bring my unmarried brother here. Is it possible?

Just make a note on a sheet of paper with 3 or 4 sentences explaining that you are single after divorcing your wife/husband and show the divorce paper with your last tax declaration showing your matrimonial status as single.
You don't have to talk about your brother since the first part is you as sponsor nothing else.

1- You are single at the time of the application( divorce or separate)
2- Both parents are deceased (death certificates of them)
3- No child since you were married, put a note that you have no child, neither RP or citizen relatives.
4- No welfare benefits at the time you are applying

NB: From my experience I listed all these criteria in a sheet of paper and put a note to explain how I meet this criteria + proof and it worked for me. In Process for me lasts only one day, no further double check needed since all my explanation +Proofs were there.

I did make a bullet point for each main criteria such as those 4 criteria listed above and put 3 or 4 sentence to explain how I meet that criteria and I put a reference number to the supporting document ( Please see document #XY).

NB: For bullet 4 which is welfare benefits, You can request a signed letter from social service stating that you are not receiving welfare benefits and put it in the package. For Alberta, lot of people complaining about the delay for IRCC to have response from the welfare service . If you can anticipate and request it, you would save time.

Hello boss,
Did you get any success in this application?

Yes, it's possible assuming you have no other relatives in Canada such as aunts or uncles. You will need to remain single for the duration of application processing (generally around 3 years). You will also need to be living in Canada during the process and meet minimum income requirements

Well, I will be adding death certificates of my beloved parents and grandparents to prove they are no more. How to prove I don’t have any uncle or aunt who is permanent resident or citizen of this loving country? Thanks for your response.

I don't think there's anything you need to provide for this.
