Hi, I am 17 years old, graduated high school, from Seoul, Korea but living in Toronto right now with my cousin sister and her husband. My cousin sister has already applied for her PR right now (didnt come out yet) and her husband, my cousin-in-law is a canadian citizen. I want to get sponsored by him before I become 18 years old and I'm really hoping that it will be possible. My cousin in law has no financial problem in taking me in and he has a bank account with proof. Thanks!

No - unfortunately it's not possible to be sponsored by your cousin-in-law. You are not a qualifying family member that he is allowed to sponsor. Even once your cousin sister has PR - sponsorship still won't be possible. If you are interested in immigrating to Canada - you'll have to look into options for qualifying on your own once you have finished school and have at least one year of work experience. Good luck.
