Has anyone sponsored a relative (sister) before or know someone who has ?

Thanks

I checked the cic website and it seems we can
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/other-relatives/eligibility.html
If you continue to click the link you posted, you can see that your 2 options are:

Option 1: orphaned close relatives

Option 2: other relative
You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age if you meet all of the conditions, including:

So is your sister under 18 and is an orphan? -> option 1.
If not, you need to be single, have no children and have NO living parent (or grand parent) and no relatives that's PR or Canadian citizen.

Unfortunately, your parents being alive and your Canadian citizen aunt will make it impossible for you to sponsor your sister.
