Query on Proof of Relationship

[Bryvin]

Hello people,

Me and my wife recently received an ITA for Canadian Permanent Residency through the express entry draw.

Now my query is, although in the initial application we had mentioned that we have an Aunt (Our mothers sister) residing in Canada it did not add up to our points nor did we did not get a provincial nomination. But the problem is that our Immigration Consultant has requested for Birth certificates of both my Maternal Aunt and my Mother.

Though we have successfully secured the birth certificate of our Aunt living in Canada (PR Status moved recently from another country), we have not been able to secure it for our mother who was born in the same country as my aunt though in 1952. Kindly note that we do have valid passports that prove that they have common parents (Are Blood Sisters).

Just wanted to know if it is mandatory for us to present both our birth certificates to the Canadian Government even though we haven't secured any adaptability points for it. What are the chances of our ITA getting declined, if we submit only the Birth Certificate of our aunt living in Canada, along with Passports of both our Aunt and Mom?

What other options can we explore since we have been able to put all our documents in place but stuck with this one?

Any assistance on this will highly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Bryvin

As you have mentioned the blood relatives in Canada, it is in your best interest that you provide them proof.
Doesn't birth certificate have parents' name in there ? If so, that will be sufficient proof.

The OP mentioned that they cannot secure the birth certificate of their mother.

Assuming your eligibility remains the same you can safely remove your aunt and explain the reason in a LOE, this is the best approach for CEC applicants or FSW applicants who remain above 67 points without their relative.

If your consultant couldn't give you this advice you should be really careful with him.

My predicament is that, we have a valid birth certificate of my aunt who was born in 1965. Unfortunately we haven't been able to trace one for my mother born in 1952.

The major question here being, since I haven't secured any adaptability points in my overall score through which we were pooled out and given an ITA, is it necessary to present the proof or relationship?

What you should know is that even though mentioning your relative would not add any points to your CRS, it does to your program eligibility points which is cut off at 67. Having a relative adds 5 points to it so if removing those 5 points still puts you above the 67 mark, you can safely remove her from your application but state in your LOE that you have an aunt in Canada but not mentioning her cos you are unable to provide proof of your relationship.

Hi friends,

In my case I have declared my husbands aunt who is a citizen of Canada. I am the primary applicant. Few questions

1. Can anyone clarify if the Canadian passport has their father's name in it?

2. Unfortunately I don't have both of their( my husbands father's & my husbands aunt) birth certificate proof. But Ican get my father-in-laws passport with his father's name in it. If the Canadian passport doesn't have parents name then i really don't know how to prove their relationship.

Guys pls.help. thanks in advance.

Hi just to add to this topic, DelPiero gave me the same advice and I recently got my PPR.
I added the explanation in the LOE.
I answered NO to having any relatives with Canadian Citizenship/PR so the document prompts went away in the checklist.

Good luck

Hello DelPiero

I attached my sisters birth certificate which has our parents name and also a relationship certificate from my home municipality that states my relation with my sister. I didn't upload my birth certificate. Do you think it is enough as proof of relationship?

Thank you
