Proof of Relationship for Brother/Sister

[india_user25]

Hi,

I am applying for a visitor visa for Canada and have an Invitation letter from my sister who is a PR resident in canada. While filing an online application, there is a requirement to provide a proof of relationship.

Actually, I was planning to attach mine and my sister's passport showing parent's name. Problem is that my mother's name (spelling) doesn't matches in two passports (difference - one passport uses "i" while other uses "ee" in the name).

Can some one please suggest any other alternative proof to be attached for proving relationship OR I can go ahead with the passports.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, I am not having any birth certificate and all other documents are having different spelling for my mother's name. Actually the problem was that all my school/college certificates were having incorrect name for my mother ("Manjeet" on certificates), so instead of making correction in all certificates, I opted to modify my mother's name in passport to "Manjeet" instead of "Manjit" such as to match all the certificates.

Now, my sister's passport and other documents have my mother's name as "Manjit". I don't want to make any correction in my passport because for that I have to modify all my school/college/bank records as well.

Is same Father's name not a sufficient proof for proving relationship? Is there any other way - like any affidavit which can be used to show that Manjit & Manjeet are same names OR any other affidavit which can prove my relationship with my sister.

Here's a suggestion:

Your mom can prepare an affidavit that says 'Manjeet' and 'Manjit' are the same person ie holding passport number/Aadhar card details, living at Address XYZ, wife of Mr.ABC (your dad).

You can also submit a copy of your parents' marriage certificate.

BTW what did you submit to prepare your passport as you don't have a birth certificate? Does that document have your mom's name spelled wrongly as "Manjeet"?

This presents a problem as a birth certificate is the easiest and most direct/reliable proof of the claimed relationship. How long does it take to apply for and acquire a birth certificate? This really is your best option. I too like Bryanna are curious as to what document you used to obtain your passport. You may get away with having yet another notarized affidavit from your parents detailing that you are their son and your sister is their daughter. Visa post will need additional documentation submitted though by your parents that is historic in nature (from your childhood all the way through to now) naming you as their son e.g hospital records, religious certification etc but do bear in mind these could be open to subjective interpretation by visa post.

Hi

Will my passport suffice to act as proof of relationship to my brother instead of birt certificate?

1. No, passports can't be used for proof of relationship.

Do both the passports (yours and your brother's) state your parents' names?

 

[Mullaimano]

Do both the passports (yours and your brother's) state your parents' names?

Yes. Both mine and my brothers passport havr our parents name. Is that acceptable? Because i cannot get a birth certificate now

 

[Bryanna]

Yes, it is an acceptable proof.

You may also want to get copies of your/your brother's birth certificates from the registrar/authorities that record births

 

[Mullaimano]

Yes, it is an acceptable proof.

Thank you Bryanna
My brother is a PR who is getting married in canada . My parents applied for visitor visa and have obtained one. But i could not apply with them as i am not a dependent child, i am married. So i applied separately with my husband as principal applicant. But we both were refused. My doubt is
1. Can i apply through my dad's online account in GC key?

No, you cannot apply using your dad's online account. You must create your own account.

More importantly, you must address the reasons for refusal before you reapply

My name is MULLAIVIZI in my passport, but my birth certificate has a 'H' . It is MULLAIVIZHI . So there is a slight difference. It will take time to correct it. Can i proceed with passport as proof (mine and brother's)? With our parents name..

Good day.
We applied first with my husband as principal applicant.Our visa was rejected stating my husband's travel history. He had travelled to Bangladesh in 2013, to attend a training in centre for vaccine studies.(I wonder why mine was also rejected stating travel history as reason- cause i have never travelled ) And we failed to provide the relationship proof of my husband to my brother.
Now we have planned to apply with me as the principal applicant. This time they have not asked for travel history document.
Should we still add a letter of explanation giving details about my husband's travel history?

For travel history - CIC is looking for past travel to countries requiring visas such as the US and UK.
