Sponsoring Relatives other than Parents

[Sanvibha]

I am a permanent resident of Canada but presently not staying in Canada, since I can be out of Canada for three years from Date of Landing.

Can I sponsor my relatives for PR? Whether my wife and me can sponsor different relatives?

My wife wants to sponsor her brother who is 30 years old, with Civil Engineering. Diploma and working in the field of AutoCAD.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion and advice
