You need to give me a bit more information so I can advise you better but generally, if you have family living in the Emirates, that can be enough to full fill the "ties to the country" criteria. For example, in my application, I showed them my parent employment certificate, how long they have been living in the emirates, mentioned that I have siblings studying here, investments both locally and internationally, Business owned and Etc.. Generally just having family living in the emirates can be enough and I know many people that have gotten the study permit with just that. Surly if you have more then just family to prove, it could strengthen your application.
