Newbie here, looking to ask how to get my mothers brother and his family here?

[thatsnazzyiphoneguy]

So my mother who is a Canadian citizen in canada for over 20 years expresses interest in getting her brother who is 50, and his wife and 2 kids into canada from China.

She wants them here so they can help/take over the family business as its becoming tiring for my mother to continue by her self.

my questions are:

I assume I would be looking for my mother to get a sponsorship type application for them to immigrate to Canada?

does age make a difference in getting them over? her brother is 50, wife around same age, kids are 23 and 10.

and they only speak mandarin.

thanks in advance for your assistance guys!

Sponsorship is not an option if she has any family in Canada or a living parent. Not only that, the 23 year old would not be eligible anyway as a dependant.
The brother, his wife and youngest child will have to apply for immigration under their own economic application.

thanks for the reply!

my mother has some relatives in canada, but she does not have a living parent in canada.

does that change anything?

If she has a living parent anywhere, it's a complete block to sponsorship of her brother.

her parents / my grnad parents are, to put it bluntly, dead.

OK, in that case, look at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-who.asp and see if your mother would be covered by the "lonely Canadian" exemption defined in Option 2. This is her only chance.

thanks man! glad to know there is a chance!

for option 2 it says i can apply for one relative and it also states "If the relative you want to sponsor has a spouse, partner, or dependent children who will come with them to Canada you must include them on the same sponsorship application."

so i should include thw wife and daughter. but the son is over 23 so i assume i cant include him in the application?

Option 2 is the "lonely Canadian" exemption.

 

[thatsnazzyiphoneguy]

Option 2 is the "lonely Canadian" exemption.

it says in option 2:

Conditions:
you do not have a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner, or one of the following living relatives you could sponsor instead:
son or daughter,
parent,
grandparent,
brother or sister,
uncle, aunt,
nephew or niece.

but we want to sponsor the brother tho? or am i taking that in the wrong context.

thanks again for your kind assistance!

A brother can't be directly sponsored in any currently existing Family Class sibling immigration stream, so he can be as part of the global "Other relatives" grouping.

Would it hurt to add my moms, brothers son in even tho he is 22? Or would that reduce the chance of the rest of the family to come over

I guess he is an adult and needs to apply individually..
