Posting under refugees and asylum.

No. She needs to adopt them and even then, she most likely cannot because the parents are alive. If she adopts them it is seen by IRCC as an adoption of convenience. The kids can come as students and pay international fees (about $20-$30k per year per child).

If the children are orphans (i.e. both parents are deceased) and she adopts them legally, then yes. Otherwise no.

If the children’s parents are alive Canada will likely consider this an adoption of convenience and not a true adoption. The son is alive what about the mother of the children. When you said she had to go back home assume this was a personal choice. Has the father permanently lost the custody of the children or is this permanent. If not too personal what was the reason for the loss of custody? That may also impact what options are available. Was your MIL working in Canada or does she have a partner in Canada who is working? Whether she’d be able to financially support the children in Canada would also be a consideration if she did eventually qualify to sponsor the children to Canada. Country of original also has an impact on whether Canada allows foreign adoptions. Your MIL needs to be doing her research and/or speaking to Canadian lawyers who specialize in immigration and international adoptions so she knows her options and what options may be possible in the future. Some have assumed that getting proof that adoption in the other country is enough to secure adoption and move to Canada which is often not the case.

Thanks for the all the Info, she doesn’t work in Canada but is in very good condition to provide to herself and the kids. Major active businesses running back home. So full support plus can be provided. So she has to legally adopt them ? But if the parents are alive it’s harder to bring them over and if they are deceased then she can easier?

Legally adopting or having legal guardianship them doesn’t mean the kids will be able to come to Canada. If parents are alive and she adopts them, then IRCC views it as adoption of convenience to bring the kids to Canada. Again, if she wants them to come to Canada then they can come as international students but you pay international fees.

Yes, she would need to legally adopt them. This would be mandatory. Without both parents being deceased, I don't think sponsorship will be possible even if she manages to legally adopt them.
