Declaring a relative in Quebec

[Ykh]

Hello,

I applied for PR a month ago, in the application, I declared my aunt as a relative. I did choose Ontario as a province to land in but my aunt does live in Montreal, Quebec. She helped me provide all the necessary documents to prove the relation. Will this cause any problem?

Also, I have multiple Canadian aunts/uncles and both of my maternal grandparents are Canadian citizens as well but the majority live in Quebec but I only declared one relative.
Will this be an issue? Do I have to show all my relations?

Thank you.

If any question as a part of your application requires you disclose your extended family members like your aunt, you have to disclose it. You don't have an option here. Withholding information can also be considered misrepresentation. Yes, the visa officer could suspect your intentions of settling in Ontario but he/she will usually request additional documentation if that's the case, it won't result in automatic refusal because you have an aunt living in Quebec.

The general rule of thumb is to answer all the questions as truthfully as possible. If the question requires you to declare your family members (they will specific about it), not declaring it will only cause you more troubles. Withholding facts will be an issue.

It was part of the application, do I have a relative in Canada(no specific province)and there were multiple options like grandparents, brother/sister, aunt/uncle. So I chose aunt/uncle and in the ITA submission, I had to provide documents showing that she lived there in the last 6 months and personal documents to prove that she is Canadian. All documents were provided and submitted without mentioning any other relative.

Relatives in Canada
You, or your spouse or common-law partner, have a relative who is:

• living in Canada
• 18 years or older and
• a Canadian citizen or permanent resident

This relative must be a:

• parent
• grandparent
• child
• grandchild
• your or your spouse’s sibling (child of your or your spouse’s parent)
• your or your spouse’s aunt or uncle (by blood or marriage)
• your or your spouse’s niece or nephew (grandchild of your or your spouse’s parent)

This how I can get adaptability points unrelated to the CRS points. I see no mention of a specific province.

I see you are talking about the FSW eligibility grid. As long as you have provided sufficient documents to prove your relationship with your aunt, it's all good for FSW eligibility. Talking about background checks, you might have to declare all your relatives on your e-APR if they ask you about them.

There's some confusion, your profile (pre-ITA) is not an application but your e-APR is.

Thank you for replying, so far nothing is required. I will make sure I will provide all the requested information if I was asked to do so.

No confusion, I already applied and in the application, they ask if I have a relative. This part is related to adaptability points. I just wanted to be sure if they care about the province.
