Are there any laws that allow a single parent in canada to sponsor her only child (1 and only child) who is over the age of 22 but financially denpending on his parent in canada.

“Family reunification remains a priority” – I still don’t understand how this is a priority. Immigrants are able to bring into Canada their “aged” parents (who can’t work), yet a parent who is already settled here in Canada and has made it home, cannot sponsor their unmarried son or daughter who is between 22 – 30 years even though they can afford to help them settle.
Its also difficult to get a visitor visa for the said family members to visit, meaning the parent has to keep going back and forth to their home country to visit. If a visitor visa can be granted for visits that would be at least helpful to reunite families at least over the holidays like Xmas season.

Hi, If this is the case for family reunification, I would like to know what should I do as no1 is helping me out. My brother was dependent on parents since childhood, now my parents are no more alive, so he is SOLELY dependent on me and I am a PR here. My brother is of 21 years and single also orphan and dependent on me. What should I do to get re-united with him? Nobody is coming ahead to help, not getting email responses back frm immigration office. Sense of urgency is also something to take care of. Website says Canada re-unite families which is not at all upto the point. What are my options to sponsor my orphan and dependent brother?

I don’t understand why the effective data cut off the applicants who were selected to apply this year. The application has not been submitted yet as the selction result just came out shortly before this policy so it won’t pause anything. It’s even more unfair to the applying families who have under 22 but over 19 dependant children this year!
