Hi all,
Urgent request here.
My sister has a residence in Canada and pays her utility bills as well.
She is currently following her husband who got a new job in USA and is currently staying in USA.
Can i claim 15 points from my sibling in Express Entry?

No. She has to be residing in Canada. It will be misrepresentation if you try and claim points when she's not living here.

No, she is not a resident of Canada. She is current a resident in the USA.

Resident means physically living in Canada. Not just owning a house and paying bills.

So no, you cannot claim the points. If you try, when she is living in the USA, then it's clearly misrepresentation. IRCC will be able to check her details since the US and Canada share information.

Misrepresentation leads to a five year ban from Canada.

But if in US, is your sister residing in Canada? How long has she been residing in the US? This is a grey area and can lead to misrepresentation because she is not living in Canada. It says must be residing in Canada.

Avoid problems. Don't claim the points. If you claim the points, that will technically be misreprsentation.

But where do they lay their heads to rest every night ?
I own a place in Calgary, but lay my head down every night in Toronto . I reside in Toronto , I OWN property in Calgary . Big difference.

Hi, my sister is currently living in Saskatchewan. Due to family dispute, she refused me to provide her proof of residence there. She can provide me only her PR card and passport. Is there any alternate still to claim points of sibling?
