My aunt lives in British Columbia with her family. I came across the CIC website and found this:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-who.asp
Who can be sponsored
You can sponsor:
Note: you can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.
Who cannot be sponsored
Other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.
--------------------------
I'm confused. Does this mean she cannot sponsor me because I'm over 18? What about the "Note" part. My aunt is financially well-off so that's not a problem.
Need help interpreting the website.

I actually find it pretty clear, if you are over 18 she cannot sponsor you, unless under the specific conditions mentioned there.

It also states only ONE relative, which is also pretty clear too.
