Family Member Sponsorship.
Hi All, I had a scan of the Wiki but can't see anything regarding quite what my question is about.
I am an Englishman in Canada for nearly 3 years now with permanent residence due to my Newfie Missus and we also have a daughter who has dual nationality.
My nephew (22yo) has expressed an interest in joining us later this year so my questions are:
Have any of you sponsored a family member in to the country and if so, how complicated was it?
What sort of timescale did you have to wait?
Any other complications?
and..........
Where did you start??
Thanks again everyone for sharing,
Steve.

Perhaps he could come over on an IEC working holiday visa and see if he likes it enough to try for PR in his own right.

Yep, you can't sponsor him I'm afraid.
IEC or perhaps a study permit? Depending on his level of education.
