Sponsoring my daughter

As long as you include her in your PR application and she passes the medical, then yes.
Thank you for your reply.
Even if I am not going to work in Canada? Because I know I have to be working full time in order to sponsor her. And my son is telling me I cannot sponsor anyone if I got the PR through him.

You don't need to be working but must be living in Canada. You just need to prove that you can provide basic needs to your daughter financially and your daughter is your dependant.
You only need to show that you have enough money to meet the income requirements if:
- you’re sponsoring a dependent child that has 1 or more dependent children of their own
Tell your son to read the website again.

So did your son's application get selected in the lottery to sponsor you for PR. If so, your daughter would have been included in the application since she is under 22 and your son has to show he has the income to support his family and yours. Your son is not correct because he would have included her in the application. You don' have to be working to sponsor your daughter as your son takes on responsibility for 20 years and your daughter until she turns 22.
Sponsoring a parent is a hard process. You would need to get selected before she turns 22. That isn't guaranteed. Your son need to reach a certain income threshold for 3 years if not in Quebec. The demand for parent sponsorship is much higher than actual spots.
Thank you. I don’t think it will work out well, because even if she got the PR she will lose it when she turns 22.
No she won't lose it when she turns 22 but if you only get selected after she is 22 or married she can't be included. How long has your son been working in Canada, does he make over the limit to sponsor all his family members and does he live in Quebec?
Yes, he makes over the limit. He doesn’t live in Quebec. I am very happy that you told me she won’t lose the PR if she turns 22. I was going to give it up. My son has been working for only one year but in a highly qualified job.
For your son to be able to sponsor you, he needs to meet minimum Canadian income for 3 years and then be selected in a lottery. How many people in his family and yours? This year’s lottery has not been announced.
He is single. He will sponsor only me and my daughter. What if she turned 22 during the processing time?
So he needs to show 3 years of Canadian income to be eligible to enter the lottery. He has one year you say. If he only has one year of taxed Canadian income, he is not eligible for a couple more years. Also many people are never selected for the lottery or it takes years for their profile to be drawn. You are not married or have other children under 22.
No, I don’t have other children under 18. I am married but his father is not interested to get the PR. What if she turned 22 during the processing time?
