Hello

Received my GCMS notes and found case analyst haven't included 15 points for Canadian sibling in initial point assessment. Due to this my point assessment falls below cut-off. My brother is a permanent resident and copy of his PR card and residency proof was already submitted with application. Shall I wait for the next officer to pick this error?

Anyone else experienced this or any suggestion?

Right now, he is not in Canada. He is out for few months to his country of origin. But I have included a latest utility bill under his name to prove his residency status in Canada.
So not living in Canada so points take off were correct. He is not a resident now. The latest utility bill doesn’t prove that he is living here Now.

How long ago did he leave and when is he returning?

A utility bill isn't always sufficient to prove someone is actually living in Canada. Did you provide anything else like proof of employment?

He went to his country of origin to get married. He is gone for 4 months now. He owns a business in Canada and will come back in few weeks.

Wait until he is back in Canada and then submit a webform with additional evidence of physical residence in Canada. Hopefully he plans to stay once he returns.

Yes he is going to stay in Canada for sure (will apply citizenship soon). I will raise a webform after his arrival.

Also in my Canadian letter of experience, my employer puts a pictured signature instead of original handwritten or digital. Is that a problem too (because I also see another note in GCMS about Canadian employer LOE and website)?
