Is it possible to get a sponsor for my study visa if my brother is working in Canada?
13 May 2026 · Answered by Disha Roy Choudhury · 1 min read
Yes, a sibling can often act as a financial sponsor if they are financially strong and able to provide supporting documents such as bank statements, salary slips, employment proof, and relationship proof.
However, visa authorities will still assess whether the financial support is genuine, sufficient, and logically supports your education expenses.
