Other relatives

This sponsorship program is also known as the lonely Canadian category or simply the ‘Lonely Canadian Program’ or the other relative program. Under this program, a Canadian permanent resident or Canadian citizen can sponsor an adult son, daughter, sister, uncle, brother, nephew or niece to immigrate to Canada. It is a mandate that the person being sponsored has to be within blood relation of the sponsor.

Some other eligibility criteria which have to be met:

• The applicant or sponsor has to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
• Must not have a spouse who is a permanent resident or Canadian citizen
• Must not have common law partner who is a permanent resident or Canadian citizen
• Parent or grandparent or child who is a Canadian permanent resident or citizen

This program has been specifically designed for the Canadian sponsors who have no connections in Canada and no chance of sponsoring an immediate family member.
