big m9stake in additional family info form

[riya]

i applied for PR last year and is landed immigrant now

when i applied last year,in additional family info form ,i wrote the relationship with my sister as step sister instead of half sister
i was confused in the two terms....i should have written only sister

now what can i do at this stage....will this effect my future applications

I understand a step sister is not a blood relative. She would be the child who comes into your family through the marriage of your parent with her parent. A half sister would be related through blood of either your mother or father. A sister would be related through the blood of both your parents.
I am not an expert, but I would think, once your have a file number, a letter explaining your error would be a good idea. It seems they are strict about proving close relationships should your half sister wish to come to Canada in the future.
What do others think?

As you are already landed you don't need to worry about the mentioned mistake. But possibly there can be a querry about it in future in case you apply for a sponsorship for her in the family class category.

I will not able to sponser her as she is ineligible....but will it create problem for her if she will apply for immigration
