Can i sponsor my brother who is married and is 28 years old through Family sponsorship? (relatives)

Option 2
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-who.asp
 
Only if you have no spouse, no children, both of your parents are deceased and you have no other family members in Canada (e.g. aunts, uncles).

You stated in http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/required-documents-for-immigration-t228790.0.html;msg3303460#msg3303460 that you have a wife. In that case, the answer is no.
 
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

Brother application would be cancelled.

Also, if one or both of your parents are alive - your brother's application will be automatically refused.

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.

It doesn't matter where your parents are living. If one of them is alive, you can't sponsor your brother.
 
Just tell your brother to take a skilled profession and apply as a skilled worker. Once he gets PR, his wife and kids will all get PR as well

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.

Absolutely 100% sure. There is an immigration program for Parents and Grandparents, which takes precedence over that list.
 
Yes - we are sure. This question is asked relatively frequently.

The way CIC has phrased this rule isn't the clearest. However how they apply the rule is 100% clear. As long as one of your parents is alive, sponsoring your brother isn't possible unfortunately.

If he is 28 and married.still young. Bring him on student visa based on his credentials. Then in express entry try get PR. International students now get advantage in points
 
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?

Zero chances your brother can sponsor you unfortunately.

Both of your parents would have to be deceased on order for your brother to be able to sponsor you.

If you wish to immigrate to Canada, you will have to qualify independently.
