Hi so I got admitted into university of waterloo and was about to apply for study permit from India. My mom is currently in canada on a visitor visa (planning to get a work permit) and has applied for LMIA. She is awaiting for the response on that. One of the questions during my application process is "Are you a spouse, common law partner or child of certain skilled worker or certain full time international student that has or will have status in Canada?" When I say NO to this question it asks for my acceptance letter from the university. However when I select YES, as my mom might have a work permit in future, they do not ask for the letter of acceptance but rather ask for proof of relationship. Does this mean I will not be granted the study permit if I say yes or should I go for a different route. Also advice if I should answer no to this question or not. Does answering yes reduce my chances of getting study permit (as they remove the option of submitting the acceptance letter one of very important key documents)?

Thank you for your reply but I was wondering why is there even an option if there is no relation.Your mother’s application has nothing to do with your application. You answer NO.

Do you have other family in Canada? The fact that your mother is in Canada and applying for a WP can negatively affect your application. It makes it much harder to show that you plan on returning to India if you have family already in Canada. How long has your mother been in Canada? Are you in Canada?
So my mother went in January to meet my uncle who is a canadian citizen. I am not in Canada. So my mother has not yet applied for WP and only submitted the LMIA applicant till now. She is planning to not apply for WP now as you just mentioned it will negatively affect my chances. If she doesn't apply for WP this year and does it next year or so, will that allow me to answer no to that question and normalize my chances of getting the study permit?

The fact that she is in Canada as a visitor already hurts your chances. What type of job is she applying for? She is also not guaranteed an WP or the ability to remain as a visitor while you study.
Ok so will saying no to the question asked in the application and her abandoning the idea of applying for the WP solve the issue right?The fact that she is in Canada as a visitor already hurts your chances.

Yes you would answer no but if she has been in Canada since January and remains in Canada while you apply for a study permit it could still cause problems for your application. Your ties to Canada are quite strong with your mother in Canada and other family.
No it has nothing to do with the questions in the application. If your mother is in Canada waiting for a work permit, it shows that you have no ties to your home country. Visa officers will look at this. Now you have been accepted to U of W so your academics will be strong.Ok so will saying no to the question asked in the application and her abandoning the idea of applying for the WP solve the issue right?

Ok so I will firstly justify her extended stay due to the pandemic not allowing her timely return. And I don't think they ask me about my relatives like uncle anywhere in the application.
