Proof my Uncle is family - Express Entry

[mathewsan]

Hi all,


When asked If I had family in Canada in I had given my Uncles information, who is a citizen of Canada.
Please advise on ways to prove my relationship with my uncle. He has a Canadian passport, therefore it does not have his parent's name on it. I also tried to retrieve his birth certificate but was unable to.

Hoping to hear suggestions/solutions from all of you.

Thanks in advance

From the IRCC website:

  • The documents must show their address in Canada and should be recent (dated within six months prior to submission).

Hi,
Thank you for your reply!

In the 4th point, the only document I will be able to retrive is "an official document naming the applicant as a relative". Can this be a notarized letter stating he is my Uncle?

what document did you submit? I am in same boat as you, in my case my grandparents are citizen, I am baffled on how to prove my relationship to them.
