How many people are you allowed to sponsor into Canada?

Under the federal program you can sponsor family members that are closely related to you such as a spouse, yours or your spouses dependent children, parents and grandparents as well as orphaned brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces under 18. You would be financially responsible for them for spouse for 3 years and for other relatives for 10. That means that if they happen to go on welfare, you get the bill to pay it back.

Under provincial nominee programs in some provinces, you can also sponsor brothers and sisters as long as you and them meet certain requirements such as how long you have lived in the province, education they have, funds they or you have etc. and in that case, you are not financially responsible for them although you can only sponsor one family at a time.

As an employer, you can also sponsor someone for their immigration by giving them a job offer certified by Service Canada (AEO). They can use that to apply for their immigration either under the skilled worker program or a provincial nominee program. In that case, your obligations to those people are none, you do not even have to give them a job when they arrive.

Once your sponsored person becomes a permanent resident, you can hire them for any job you want.

one person or family at a time - for 3 or 10 years depending on how they are related to you

once they have been in Canada for 3 or 10 years, then your sponsorship ends and you are free to sponsor another person or family

spouse - 3 years sponsorship

spouse's children (sponsors stepchildren) - 10 years or until child turns 25 (whichever happens first)

parents and siblings - 10 years or until child turns 25 (whichever happens first)

If Canada is kind enough to let you live there your responsibility is to hire Canadians instead of stabbing them in the back by trying to import the entire Third World.
