Hello Praveen,
Thank you for sharing your inquiry with us.
Unfortunately, you cannot sponsor your brother and his wife.
You can find some information on how your brother and his wife 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.

That's not entirely true. You can sponsor your brother under the "Other Relatives" program, but you, as sponsor, need to meet various requirements. It's not easy to meet them. Read CIC website about "Other Relatives" Sponsorship |

Sponsoring - Other Relatives

Thank you for maintaining this forum. I was a bit surprised to see very little information about sponsoring other relatives in here and in other forums I've visited.
I reckon it's probably the least used method to sponsor family members (Spouse and children are way more common). Anywho, the reason I am posting is that I submitted an application under the Other Relative program (I meet all the requirements), but the CIC website under the "Processing Times" link states that these applications will be reviewed on a "Processed daily on a priority basis" (Whatever that means). It's the only category that does not state a number of days/months/etc it takes this application to pass STEP 1.
Does anybody here have any experience on this? How long did it take? How long until CIC contacts you or assigns you a control number?
Thank you |
