Thank you so much for your info!!rajkamalmohanram said:The only reason you have to mention your relatives in Canada is if you want points towards the FSW points grid (towards the 67/100 requirement). There is no other use in disclosing these relatives in your e-APR. This is not misrepresentation. This can be compared to answering "No" to the question "Does XX have work experience" for a dependent on application <<Work experience gained outside of Canada doesn't award any points/doesn't affect eligibility so answering NO to that question is perfectly fine>>.
What is NOT considered as misrepresentation -
1) The two cases explained above.
2) Entering only the work experience that gives you points in the work history section and leaving the rest in the personal history section.
What is considered Misrepresentation -
1) You have a distant relative there and you forge documents (BC etc) to prove that he is your parent's sibling for the sake of getting points.
2) You have a previous visa refusal and you do not declare it in the application.
If you do not remove the relative from the application, then you must submit documentation for them.
Very clear clarification on misrepresentation.
