Grandparents as sponsors?

Are grandparents able to sponor any of there grand-children to live in the U.S? If so what are the requirements in terms of age etc? My grandparents haven't yet filed for my dad who I would get a greencard through,so I was wondering if the could file for me because I want to move to the U.S for school. Im a 17 year old male living in Toronto Canada.

Answer:
No, your grandparents can only sponsor an immediate family member (a spouse, son, daughter, or their parent), which means they cannot sponsor you. But if they sponsor your father, you are included as part of his family.
i think NO is my final answer, a grandparent can't petition for a grand kid see below who is able to sponsor and for who!!!

Petition for Alien Relative
1.) If you are a US Citizen, you may petition for following relatives, as long as you can prove the relationships:

* Husband or wife or unmarried child under 21 years old;
* Parent, if you are at least 21 years old;
* Unmarried son or daughter over 21 years old;
* Married son or daughter of any age;
* Brother or sister, if you are at least 21 years old.

2.) If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), you may petition for following relatives, as long as you can prove the relationships:

* Husband or wife; or
* Unmarried child under 21 years of age;
* Unmarried son or daughter over 21 years of age.

Lawful permanent residents may not sponsor their parents, married sons/daughters or brothers/sisters to live permanently in the U.S.
They would have to be able to prove that they could support you financially.
