ciscoccie said:Thankyou for the information.
Just wondering if someone is not married and then he sponsers his brother and after 6 months he gets married and then sponsers his/her spouse too, then will they stop application of one of them? brother or spouse
scylla said:Brother application would be cancelled.
Also, if one or both of your parents are alive - your brother's application will be automatically refused.
ciscoccie said:but if he doesnt have parents in canada or any other relative then also will the application will be canceled? I mean if parents are alive but live in different country.
scylla said:It doesn't matter where your parents are living. If one of them is alive, you can't sponsor your brother.
Absolutely 100% sure. There is an immigration program for Parents and Grandparents, which takes precedence over that list.ciscoccie said:Sorry to bother you again, are you sure if parents are alive but are not canadian resident or citizens, the application will still be rejected?. I dont see anything mentioned here about it
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.
you do not have any of the above-named relatives who is a:
Canadian citizen,
permanent resident, or
registered Indian under the Indian Act.

mjarmak said:Hello, I just got my degree in Engineering and want to move to canada, I want to go via Study Permit then Work Permit then Resident, but in case that doesn't work out, can my brother who is a Canadian citizen sponsor me to become a resident?
My brother is self employed and lives on rent, neither of us is married, parents, a brother and sister reside here in Lebanon.
So what are my chances?
