Hello everyone! I received ITA on Feb 12th. I have a sister in Canada who is a Canadian citizen. I claimed points for her. However the last name of our mother in both birth certificates is different, due to the fact that we're from different fathers. Do you think i can change this information post ITA and just don't claim points for her? or IRCC will find this suspicious and could possibly deny my application?
Thanks

So you have no additional documentation with the birth certificate that could indicate your mother's maiden name?

She's not sure she still had them, she will try to find it, but there's possibility this document is missing.

Try to see if she can find the documents. If not you may have to remove it from the application and write a letter of explanation to explain the situation.
