Non biological aunts and uncles as sponsors for General Skilled Migration applicants

The issue of which relatives can sponsor an applicant for General Skilled Migration is an interesting one and set out below is an extract from the PAM dealing with aunts/uncles, step relatives, cousins and grandparents and sponsorship issues:

Note in particular that:

•non-blood uncles and aunts can sponsor nieces and nephews and

•step relatives may sponsor but

•first cousins and grandchildren can be sponsored only in the Designated Area-sponsored visa category.

79.2 Sponsorship by non-blood related uncles and aunts

If an applicant is relying on sponsorship (for Schedule 2 or Schedule 6A purposes) by a non-blood uncle or aunt, decision-makers should note the following:

• if the relationship between the uncle and aunt has ceased through divorce or permanent separation, the applicant generally cannot be taken to be the nephew/niece of the non-blood relative, sponsorship in these situations should be approved only if the uncle/aunt related by blood sponsors the applicant

•if the blood uncle/aunt has died, policy intends that the non-blood uncle/aunt be permitted to sponsor their niece/nephew only if the relationship between uncle and aunt was on-going at the time of death (ie the couple had not divorced or separated), unlike the first scenario, the surviving non-blood aunt or uncle may still be regarded as part of the family and be permitted to sponsor the applicant.
