The COPR is fine.

Although, at the time of submitting application you would need 3 documents

1. Proof of sibling relationship (I'm guessing you have those, birth certificates with common parent names or even passport last page with common parent names should work)
2. Proof of PR (COPR will work)
3. Proof of residence in Canada (You will need to provide a copy of a utility bill/bank statement or other address proof to prove your sibling has actually moved to Canada)

Make a decision if you are sure that you'll have the third document available by the time you need to submit your application.

Hi,

I am in a similar situation. My brother has landed last week. Just wanted to know, what did you finally decide? Have you updated your profile with Sibling as PR? What is your score now?

Your reply would be appreciated, maybe we can connect to understand our situations better.

Thanks.

For point no.3 , can SIN document be considered ?

Does it have a local address? I don't know how a SIN document looks like. The document needs to have a Canadian local address
Yes it has a local address, but the document says it is a confidential document and needs to be protected at all times. Don’t know what to do now..!! But will try for bank account statement and mobile bills.

Hello guys ,
Don’t try to use COPR Ircc clearly mention on their website if you wants to claim sibling points then you have to provide them your sibling proof of Canadian Resident card or citizen ship passport of Canada
Points for siblings in Canada
You can now earn 15 additional points if you (or your spouse or common-law partner who will come with you to Canada) have a brother or sister who is:

  • living in Canada and
  • a citizen or permanent resident of Canada
To get these points, the brother or sister must also be

  • 18 years old or older
  • related by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption
  • have a parent in common

What is this? Is this what you have got on your Express Entry Profile for documents required in the Sibling section? This looks like some specific reply.
