Hello. About 5 years ago, I applied to sponsor my relatives to come to Canada and it has been a long ride until today. I received a call from my lawyer telling me that my mother in-law and nephew have been approved for their Visa but my other nephew has been declined, because his age is too old. He is 30 years old and I am not sure what the reason is, because what does age have to do with immigration?
I would like some more information regarding this issue and also what I can do. Note that I have been told that if I were to appeal, then this might affect and put risk on the case as well as getting the approved Visa declined for my mother in-law and nephew.

the immigration law states that, if the person being sponsored in older than 22 and i not a full time student he is not a dependent any more, so he cannot be a part of family sposnorship, he will have to apply for a seperate PR

Read this, might help you understand
You can sponsor:
parents
grandparents
brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship
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, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act or permanent residents and
accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children).
Who cannot be sponsored
Other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.
