Your contention is that in order to claim points the sibling should be living in Canada throughout the processing of application.OK now your case is clear to me and it's really simple. You have done absolutely right things and no need to withdraw your sibling points. You haven't claimed any points until he was there and that's the right way to do it and in no mean can be considered as misrepresentations.
Just leave sibling points there and write a LOE explaining your brother status and you will be fine.
I hope this will help. Good Luck.
The notice at HELP? says that the sibling should be living in canada on both the dates, on the date of submitting EE profile as well as on the date of eAPR.
Now, I have both the options open for me one either going for the direct ITA (by withdrawing nomination) or secondly through nomination and subsequent ITA. My question are -
- Is there any risk, however small it may be of my sibling points being refused and EE applications rejected. I am at CRS 434 and have eligibility points 74. I got ITA on 9th Aug draw where cut off was 433.
- As you are aware that my OINP application is also in DIP stage since 21st Aug . If I wait for PFL and eventually get 585 points and reach to 1019 CRS and then finally if in EE application these sibling points are refused, will this reduction of 15 points have any effect on my final selection considering a score of 1019.
