Hi everyone!

So my sister is a Canadian permanent resident and I'm claiming points for having a sibling in Canada.

I have encountered a problem with the document upload section. There are two identical fields and I am not sure what to upload in those. I provide the following documents for the following fields:

1. Proof of PR/Citizenship of sibling - I'm providing my sister's PR card scan,
2. Proof of residency in Canada of sibling - I'm providing my sister's bank statement and residential lease agreement scans,
3. Proof of sibling relationship - I'm providing scans of my and my sister's birth certificates,
4. Family member proof of status - ??????

The explanation of the field says "you must provide a copy of your family member's Canadian Citizenship or Canadian immigration status document (e.g. Canadian passport, permanent resident card, study permit or work permit). Please provide a copy of both sides of the document."

Does this mean I have to provide her PR card scan in both 1st and 4th fields? Or maybe I should provide an extra document like her COPR? Or anything else? I'm totally lost.

I don't have any other relatives in Canada. I don't have any dependants.

I would appreciate if any one of you was able to provide advice from personal knowledge/experience.

Thanks!

Sorry not sure but why don't you try COPR for one and PR card for another. I think that works otherwise they will send an ADR. I maybe wrong but nothing comes to my mind what to upload if not of these docs, no other doc proof status then these. Hope this helps.

Hi! Can I please know what you ended up submitting for the family member proof of status section? I'm facing the same problem right now and any help would be appreciated!
