Hello folks, i hope you are all ok!

Well, i am Ramzi from Morocco, 28 years i work as a freelancer(programmer- internet marketer).


I would like to know if there is a way for me to move to Canada? I have a brother there, he is a permanent resident(Québec). He is ready to help me to go there. Can he sponsor me as a family member? If yes how? And what are the requirements?


Also could i apply for Canada’s immigration without the certificate of work experience? Because i am a freelancer and i don’t have that.


One last thing, i am a disabled person( i still can walk a little bit) and as far as i know that in Canada they value and help the disabled people, could this facilitate something or could any organization or something can help me to join my brother?


I don’t have informations about this, that’s why i decided to join the forums to ask, i am really disappointed and frustrated in this country. It is really like hell for people like my case. If you have any information or help please let me know!


Warm regards,

Ramzi

Hello Ramzi,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

Your brother can find some detailed information on what the requirements are to be eligible for this type of sponsorship are on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website in the Determine your eligibility – Sponsor your eligible relatives(CIC) section.

Here is an excerpt of the requirements,

Who you can sponsor

You can sponsor:

-brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren who are orphaned, are under 18 and do not have a spouse or common-law partner,

-relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children) who will come with them to Canada, or

You can sponsor one relative of any age or relationship, but only if you do not have one of these living relatives who could be sponsored as a member of the family class:

-spouse or common-law partner,
-conjugal partner,
-son or daughter,
-parent,
-grandparent,
-sibling, or
-uncle, aunt, nephew or niece, and

you do not have any relative who is a:

-Canadian citizen,
-permanent resident or
-registered Indian under the Indian Act.

Who you cannot sponsor

You cannot sponsor other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult children who support themselves financially.

If they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for having a relative in Canada.


As you may have noticed, it is not easy to meet these requirements.

You can find some information on how you may be eligible apply to immigrate to Ontario in our Settlement.Org How can I apply to immigrate to Ontario? article.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
