See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigra.../relatives.asp Although depending on his income, he may not meet the LICO.

His fathers English and went over 18 years ago because he married a Canadian, they are divorced now, so he has no blood relatives there at all. Anyway we are not looking for PR straight away and are just looking to work for a bit to see if we like it so are weighing out the best\easier options, thanks everyone so far, great help :-)

Good luck, whatever you decide

A sponsor does have to give a financial undertaking to support the relatives if they fall on hard times and claim income assistance.
