the last family member rule

[filizkilic]

Hi everyone,

I heard that if all of your family members except one(bro,sister,parents etc) are already in canada then you can sponsor the last one regardless of age and relationship. Has anyone heard anything like this. Pls share, thanks in advance.

EDIT: Who can be sponsored

You can sponsor:
•parents
•grandparents
•brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship
•another relative of any age or relationship but only under specific conditions (see Note below)
•accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children).

Note: you can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.
