Can relatives and friends guarantee immigration to Canada?

* * Yes * *. If Canadian permanent residents or holders of citizenship have specific kinship with the applicant, such as parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, granddaughters and grandchildren, they can act as guarantors to help the applicant immigrate to Canada. However, if there is no such specific kinship between the applicant and the guarantor, the guarantor usually needs to meet some specific conditions, such as meeting the requirements of the Indian Act.
