Student Visa when siblings already live in Canada

[ManuM]

What are the chances of getting a student visa to Canada for me when my brother is a recent PR holder and I have 5.5 years of gap in education since last graduation (valid work experience exists)? Having a brother with PR in Canada will have any negative impact on my application?

nobody can possibly know dont be silly

yes, but how much no one again can possibly know for your case

You will have to fill in "Family Information" sheet, where in you include your family member;s details and where they stay.
Conversely, your brother will have submitted your details. This easily shows your ties in Canada.
They will know every details. If you try to hide and they find out, under the accusation of misrepresentation, you may get blacklisted.

About the impact of having siblings in Canada in study permit approval, I am anxious to know too. I have a similar condition. My brother has however applied already and I am waiting to see what will be the outcome.

Thanks for the response, kindly post once you get a decision from CIC, hopefully there should not be any issues. What are the documents you submitted to show ties to home country?

It does have an effect but if your brohter is independent and doesn't require you or your sponsor to support him it wouldn't matter that much but again no one can know for sure unless there is a visa officer lurking on these forums
