Aliyah: Immigration to the Land of Israel
This question is more of a practical matter than a question of Halakha (Torah-law), because the poskim (codifiers) have more than one opinion, and also because there are some essential Torah-considerations.
So, the short Torah-answer is: if you are (or intend to be) religious, then Yes, making aliyah to Israel is a mitzva. You should be aware that both mitzvot (Torah-commands) and aveirot (sins) are "worth more" if done in the Holy Land.
In Israel, there's less of a chance of intermarriage, there's less influence from non-Jewish holidays (etc.), and there's a certain (at least minimal) exposure to Judaism and its observances and history, even on the city streets. This is the complete opposite of the situation outside of Israel (which is one reason why I came here).
Aliyah: Reading a Section of the Torah in Front of the Congregation.
While having an aliyah is certainly an honor and desirable, it is not itself a mitzvah. Reading the Torah is a mitzvah, though.

What is the responsibility of a sponsor at a bar mitzvah?
A Bar Mitzvah sponsor is someone who pays for the Bar Mitzvah ceremony for a boy whose family cannot afford it. At the ceremony itself, the sponsor doesn't have any specific responsibilities, but is likely to be given an honor such as an aliyah to the Torah-reading.

What is the customary order of Aliyahs at a Bar Mitzvah?
In all the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs I have every attended, there has only been one aliyah which is carried out by the boy or girl whose Bar/Bat Mitzvah it is. Aliyah means "to rise," and is a name used when somebody is called up to read from the Torah. However, the Bar/Bat Mitzvah is commonly followed by a celebratory meal during which speeches may be given - in Hebrew, Yiddish and/or English depending on the family - both by and in honour of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah boy/girl. These might be mistaken for further aliyot which is, I suspect, why you ask what the order of aliyot is. In saying that, customs and traditions vary widely between different Jewish communties and families. Does anybody know if a Bar/Bat Mitzvah can have several aliyot?

Who can have an aliyah at a bnai mitzvah?
In my temple, the only people allowed to be called up to the bimah for an aliyah have to be either of proper age, or they had to have had a b'nai mitzvah themselves. Our temple, however, allows the people called up to take a guest with them to the bimah. This is to prevent, for example, a young sibling of the bar/bat mitzvah to become restless without his/her parents near.To summarize what your question is asking, only people that are old enough or have had a b'nai mitzvah. Again, please note that this answer is according to the customs of my own temple, which practices reform Judaism. Other temples could vary according to how strictly they adhere to the laws of Judaism. It is best to ask somebody in an administrative position what their temple allows.In more religious synagogues, non-Jews and females are typically forbidden from having aliyot.
