My spouse and I are in a very tough situation. Im a US citizen currently on a Working Holiday Work Permit here in Canada. My spouse cannot sponsor me due to his recent criminal conviction, so as it stands, I have to apply for PR on my own merit.

Currently I have a CRS score of 444.
- Could I use my spouse who is a Canadian citizen to gain points for the following section, or does this only apply to spouses who are not Canadian?


10) Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?

Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:


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