My mom cousin is in Canada, sponsorship Q

[Croatoan]

I was wondering if you could help me. I want to come live and work in Canada. I have my mothers cousin living in Toronto for 24 years. He is married and has his own family there. I was wondering what are my chances and options for Immigration. I would also really like to know if my girlfriend can come with me and if there is a better chance if we are married?

Thank you very much in advance, I appreciate every comment

edit: oh and btw I'm from Croatia if that matters

Sponsorship is not possible via that relationship. You will have to research economic immigration instead.
Your girlfriend will not be eligible as your dependent unless you meet the "common-law" definition or are married.

Thank you for your fast reply. So he can't help in any way with my immigration to Canada? Maybe some guarantee letter or something.

Ok thank you we will definitely get married then

The only way he can help you with immigration to Canada is by getting bonus points having relatives in Canada when applied for immigration independently from family sponsorship.

Actually, you won't even get that. No adaptability points are granted for cousins or "mother's cousins".

Croatoan - If you wan to immigrate to Canada, you will have to qualify on your own.

That's true. I was thinking "immediate" families when I wrote it. My apology for the confusion.
