PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP IN CANADA
You must prove your relationship to your sponsor in Canada. The following documents are necessary to establish this link. To be considered, the documents submitted must be historical and must pre-date the sponsorship.
•A copy of your sponsor's original Record of Landing (IMM 1000).
•Proof that your sponsor has either declared you as a dependent on a Canadian personal income tax declaration (i.e., a certified copy from income tax return – from 1989 to 1992 – listing dependents and amounts received with copy of Annex 6), or as a beneficiary on official documents (the date you were designated should be mentioned on the document). Residents of Quebec can provide us with a certified copy of their Quebec income tax along with Annex A.
•All school certificates, diplomas and degrees, including apprenticeship or trade papers, for each person aged 19 years old and older.
•Photocopy of the Primary school Register of Admission showing the name of the pupil and parents, the name and location of the school, and the year of attendance. (We will not accept Attendance Registers and letters from the school.) This document must bear the original school seal and headmaster's signature. This document is required for each accompanying child.
•Original health card (newly issued ones are not acceptable) that was issued shortly after birth for each accompanying child plus one photocopy of each.
•Original baptismal certificate (if available – newly issued ones are not acceptable) for each accompanying child plus one photocopy of each.
•If your sponsor in Canada is your child or sibling, provide their short form birth certificate (document issued immediately after birth).
•If your sponsor in Canada is your grandchild, provide their birth certificate and their parents' birth certificates.
•If you have been adopted, provide evidence that you have been placed with a Child Welfare Authority and that your sponsor has the authority to take you to Canada, in the form of a letter of “No Objection” from provincial authorities.
•If you have been adopted and one or both of your parents are deceased, provide the “Official Certificate of Death” as issued by the Registrar's Office (as applicable) plus one photocopy. We will not accept a “Statutory Declaration” alone.
We will not accept as proof of relation:
•Newly issued documents, except for very young children.
•Health cards as proof of relationship between a child and a father.
•Photocopies of documents or amended documents. Only genuine originals are accepted.
The speed with which we can decide whether an interview is required in your case depends on the availability of original documentation to prove your claim – do not renew or amend documents, as these will be rejected.
The documents provided are verified to confirm their authenticity and this will cause delays in your application. If you wish to speed up your application because you do not have the required documents, you may opt to undergo DNA testing at your own expense. Indicate your willingness to proceed with DNA testing by attaching a letter to your completed application.
