family sponsorship question
Hi
I'm asking this for some friends.
Husband and wife are Canadian Citizens and have lived in Canada for over 50 years. They want to sponsor the following...
Their niece, who is over 50 something and her husband (they want to retire here).
Their niece's 2 sons - plus both wives and dependent children - who are cousins and grand neices
In total - 8 people.
The CIC website is confusing - it states...
"adult independent children cannot be sponsored"
however it also states that you CAN sponsor....
"another relative of any age or relationship if none of the above relatives could be sponsored, and you have no other relatives who are Canadian citizens,"
If i sound thick then apologies, but can they be sponsored or not?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Short answer no. The above section would only apply if they were single, never married (they are married) have no children parents/grandparents.. No brothers, sisters,no no nieces/nephews in Canada.
