Can I sponser my nephew to Canada.
My brother son he is studying in India at grade 11 and I wish to sponser him to Canada as PR or study permit. Me and my wife and our 2 children living in Canada almost 2 years and we are Permanent resident of Canada. We are having good annual income and also having own 2 houses in Canada.
What is the procedure to sponser him to Canada. he is age 16. Please give me advice. We are living in Alberta, Fort Mcmurray

No, you can't sponsor a nephew for PR. You may assist him financially as well as provide room and board if he would want to study in Canada, but that's all.

Re: Can I sponser my nephew to Canada.
Family sponsorship is possible in Alberta, via the Family stream.
Eligible family members under the AINP Family stream include a Parent, Child, Brother, Sister, Aunt, Uncle, Niece or Nephew.
There are conditions, but these are set out on the website, along with a self assessment test.

Hope this helps start your research.

Hi
The OP's nephew is in grade 11 so about 16/17 years old, no way would he qualify for AINP.

Re: Can I sponser my nephew to Canada.
I believe it's because he's too young but there's an assumption there that the stream will remain permanently open (or at least until he's old enough), this might not be the case.

Re: Can I sponser my nephew to Canada.
AINP family Stream - basic requirements:
The Candidate and their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must be between the ages of 21 and 45.
The Candidate and their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must have obtained an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) minimum score of 4.0, or a minimum level of 3.0 (361-540) on the Test d’evaluation de français (TEF).
The Candidate or their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must meet minimum criteria for education and work experience. Note that one individual (either Candidate or spouse/common-law partner) must meet both the education and work experience criteria.
The Candidate or their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must be able to demonstrate completion of a post-secondary diploma or degree program of at least two (2) years in duration.
The Candidate or their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must be able to demonstrate one of the following:
- a minimum of three years of full-time work experience that is related to individual’s post-secondary credential within the past four years; or
- a minimum of three years of full-time post-secondary school within the past four years; or
- a combination of three years of full-time work experience and full-time post-secondary school within the past four years. The education and experience must be related (i.e. an Engineering degree and working as an Engineer).
The Candidate or their Spouse/Common-law partner (if applicable) must be able to demonstrate that they have the following accessible funds in a financial institution:
- at least CAD $10,000 for the Candidate
- CAD $2,000 for each of the Candidate’s dependents (spouse or common-law partner and children)
I don't think that OP's nephew can meet any of the above at this time.

Re: Can I sponser my nephew to Canada.
Manitoba has a family support priority assessment for their PnP but again the minimum age is 21, however, the work experience / post grad is lower.

You are eligible to apply under the MPNP Family Support priority assessment stream if you can demonstrate that you:
Have a close relative who is an established resident of Manitoba and who is willing and able to support your settlement in the province.
Meet our minimum requirements for age, education, work experience and language ability

Work experience: You have at least two years of full-time work experience within the past five years.
Language: You have enough English or French to get a job in Manitoba in your intended occupation soon after you arrive. For an objective assessment of your English skills take an IELTS test (International English Language Testing System) and submit your score with your application.
Adaptability: You can demonstrate your intention and ability to establish successfully in Manitoba based on your:
Connection to Manitoba, including settlement supports from family.
Employability, based on your training and work experience related to your intended occupation, including any licence or certification required in your country of residence

Who is a close relative and what must they do for you to apply under the Family Support stream?
A close relative is defined as a mother/father, son/daughter, sister/brother, aunt/uncle, niece/nephew, grandparent or first cousin
A post-graduate PnP under the same scheme might work when he is a little older, if he could attend college/university here:Have a close relative who is an established resident of Manitoba and who is willing and able to support your settlement in the province.

Re: Can I sponser my nephew to Canada.
I Plan to live in Toronto and intend to sponsor my nephew too when I am settled.
Are the rules any different for people living in Toronto and the GTA areas.
(Please excuse my ignorance - still doing my research)

Why are International Students who attend Canadian colleges and universities part of the program?
We want to retain the best and brightest Canadian-trained international students. They will give Ontario an advantage in the global competition for talent and they will easily integrate into Ontario’s labour force and society.

Re: Can I sponser my nephew to Canada.
If you really want to sponsor him and it's important enough to you, you may wish to think about settling elsewhere in Canada? Alberta, Manitoba and SK are among the provinces that allow sponsorship of a nephew via their PNP.
Alternatively, he'll have to look at another route i.e. a work visa or a study permit.
