IMM 5406 - Undeclared sibling

[QuantumVoyager]

Hello. I have an unusual situation to share and I would like to know your opinions and suggestions about this, please.
I am applying to PR with my common-law partner in the same application under a PNP (non Express Entry). I am filling out the IMM 5406 form and, while I understand that it is necessary the inclusion of information about our parents and siblings, my partner refuses to include her sister on this form. They have some major personal problems and they simply don't get along with each other, so much that my partner does not consider that she has a sister.
She thinks that somehow the Canadian government might want to contact her sister for any reason if her name is included in the form, so she rejects the idea of informing that she has a sister.
I tried to convince her, arguing that her sister would never be contacted and that not declaring her could cause problems to the application, but she is being unreasonable an inflexible.

My question is, if we submit our application without including her sister in the siblings section, can this somehow jeopardize our application so they can be refused? Or in the case or our applications are approved, is there a risk that we both lose our permanent resident status (or an application for citizenship) in the future because of this information was omitted?

Thank you.

The reason IRCC wants this information is to assess applicants pose no security risks(direct or through association to someone) and to handle future immigration requests for the other person like points for EE.

If you don't declare, there's nothing which is going to happen unless at a future date it turns out the person you didn't declare was a security risk and your wife was complicit in whatever it was. Given the sentiment your wife and sibling share, she would probably not let the sibling receive any immigration benefits anyways so who cares about the 2nd reason. Lol

You are right, there is absolutely no chance her sister will be sponsored by my wife for immigration, so hopefuly that will be OK and it won't cause problems to our applications.

Thank you.

You can't sponsor siblings anyways unless they are orphaned and below 18. It's more about claiming those points if and when that person decides to apply for EE for example. You probably get 40-50 points for relatives in Canada.

And there are people who fail to declare their kids and spouses. They go back and complain but if they didn't declare they can't sponsor. Revoking PR or citizenship because of failure to declare is unheard of but it's possible if the govt really wants to enforce it. Good luck.
