Other Family Sponsorship

This one applies for orphaned (both mother and father are deceased) brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren who are orphaned, under the age of 18 and are single, they may be sponsored to come to Canada as a permanent resident.

If you do not have a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner, son or daughter, parent, grandparent, brother or sister, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece, who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, you may be able to sponsor. This is sometimes called the ‘’Lonely Canadian’’ sponsorship program.

Are you a ‘’lone Canadian’’ ?

A lone Canadian is described as Canadian permanent resident or citizen who does not have any of the following family members currently in Canada or eligible to be sponsored:

    a spouse

    a child

    a parent

    a grand-parent

For example, if Abdul does not have living relatives such as he is single (or widower), and has no children who could be sponsored and both his parents as well as his grand parents are deceased, he may be able to sponsor someone else to Canada regardless of age or relationship!
