Sponsorship of other Relatives

Can I bring my siblings to Canada?


Whether you want to invite your siblings to Canada depends on how long they will stay.


If they want to live in Canada, you will have to sponsor them.


Sponsoring means, starting a process with the government of Canada, being financially responsible for them.


In case you want they visit you for a few months, probably depending on their nationality, they need an electronic travel permit, visa or just a passport.
