If you have family living in Canada, then you are eligible to be sponsored for a Canada PR Visa through Family Sponsorship Program. "Family Reunification" is considered as one of the pillars of Canadian immigration.
Your relatives can live, work or study in Canada as permanent residents. You can sponsor them if you are at least 18 years old and:
If you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, aged 18 or over, you can sponsor certain members of your family to become permanent residents of Canada. If you become a permanent resident, you can live, study and work in Canada.

To be a sponsor, the Canadian citizen or permanent resident must:
The sponsor must agree to financially support the member of his family if the latter cannot meet his own needs. This is to ensure that the new permanent resident will not need government assistance.

Frequently Asked Question
If your sponsorship application is denied, you can appeal the matter to the Immigration Arbitration Section (IAD) within 30 days of the denial. IAD calls are long, expensive and by no means guaranteed. If your case has been denied, you should contact a lawyer immediately to ensure that your appeal is filed on time.
This will depend on the Canadian immigration visa office to which the application was sent and the type of family member being sponsored. Spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children are priorities and can take about a month, while parents and grandparents can take more than three years.
