Not up on this sort of thing IG but think you have to be a citizen before you can sponsor.

I've looked into it for sponsoring my sister and one needs to be an oz citizen first; then sponsor them for a family repatriation visa. When they get here they have to live in the same city/location.
Hope this helps, cheers, Alex.

I think you need to look into it again as you're wrong on all three counts.

I was told i can sponsor and i am a permenent resident not a citizen. I thought either can sponsor, however the person being sponsored would receive more points if a citizen was sponsoring them.

The 'more points' rule for citizen sponsors hasn't been in existence since about 1999.

Up to date information is available on the DIMIA website. Information on skilled sponsored migration is in the Skilled Migration Booklet (booklet 6).

Perhaps you could be a little more “Helpful" and actually state what is incorrect and what your version of it is! Our advice came from an agent.
