how old is your brother - if he is more that 22 and is not an orphan, then the answer is no. what province are you in - some jurisdictions have a program that extends who is eligible under the sponsorship program.

Yes you might be able to sponsor him if both of you qualify.

Hello,
I´m an undergrad student in Lahore.I´m planning to get my credits transferred in University of Calgary(Alberta).But before that I need to make sure certain things regarding Student Visa.
1- Can my Sister sponsor me financially for my education in Canada since I am an orphaned? provided my sister is a Doctor in Australia and she is working there for the past 2 years.
2- Can assets other than cash(which my Mother owns) i.e real estate property,stocks etc can be used along with my sister´s sponsorship for my student visa as far as financial requirements are concerned?..
Kindly help me out in this issue, I shall be thankful to you.
Thanks in advance.

1) no
2) I thought you were orphaned - so how can there be cash that your mother owns? how would Canada collect from your sister in Australia?

Thanks for ur reply Sharon :)
1)I am paternal orphan for the past 5years.And my mother is still alive and so she owns assets like real estate property and stocks.
2)Dont u think they can do it from Canadian high commission in Australia?...

1) then you are not an orphaned and you are likely over 22 so on 2 fronts the answer is no.
2) your sister has absolutely no ties to Canada - therefore her ability to help you in Canada is zero.

Ask her to give you the money!
