Proof of Relationship

[kikori]

I just got my ITA and now I'm preparing to fill out the required documents. One document that came up is "Proof of Relationship" (You must provide proof of your relationship with your host or family member). This is probably because I mentioned I have an "Aunt/Uncle" that is a Canadian Citizen in the online questionaire, but the reality is, we are not close at all (he's the brother of my father's brother's wife), and I haven't talk to him for 5 years. It will be very weird/awkward to ask them for a "proof of relationship" document (none of the examples such as birth certificate, marriage certificate apply at all)

So question is: Should I change my answer on the question of "Do you have a relative who is a permanent resident/Canadian Citizen" to "No"?

This relative does not fall under the definition of Canadian relatives, so answer No to the question for Canadian relatives
