I'm planning to sponsor my parents and younger sister who is 22 years of age and she is in full time studies and i'm not married. Is it possible to sponsor her along with my parents ?
My another question is, is there any alternative way to get the parents here in canada like calling them here on visitor visa and then applying for sponsorship or after applying for sponsorship they can come on visitor and keep extending the visitor visa?
Any Suggestions !

if she is a student and dependant on your parents, then yes...

the pr application still needs to be processed at an overseas post unless its made on H&C grounds...

they can, but extensions are not given indefinately... first extensions are generally easy, second extensions are difficult... third extensions even more so, and personally ive never heard of anyone getting a fourth... each extension is for a max of 6 months (could be shorter)... so if you get 3 extensions of 6 months and original entry of 6 months makes it 2 years, which is still less than parents processing time of approx 50 months excluding aponsorship approval time (assuming you apply at delhi)...

what if you processed papers thru another centre e.g. hongkong, dubai or london. what are the negatives? any one had any experiences. I am sure the processing time will be faster.
I think this would be a good way to cut short the time. 
any ideas?
