Does anyone know if it is possible to sponsor my sister from Ethiopia? I am on income assistance with 2 daughters.

Basic answer No, because you are on social assistance and your sister would have to be under 18 and an orphan if you weren't on social assistance

Thank you for your reply. My sister is an accountant at a church in Ethiopia and has a college level diploma, do you have any recommendations on routes she could take to immigrate to Canada?

She should look into either skilled worker, or if you are in Alberta or Manitoba the PNP family stream.
