Applying for Study Visa, Sister has PR in Canada.. EXPERTS PLEASE HELP!!

[srizvi93]

Hi,
I am looking to apply for 2015 Undergrad BBA Accounting program in Memorial University of Newfoundland, I am from Karachi, Pakistan.
My Profile:
HSC 74% 2012
Preparing for IELTS
Passed 8 papers of ACCA Foundation already, will be completing ACCA all F1-F9 Foundation courses by December 2014 InsAllah

I am worried for visa acceptance as my sister has moved to Calgary, Canada last year on immigration basis, She has PR and during immigration she has listed my name in family info form so I can't hide her name in my application, I have heard that if you have relatives in canada then you dont get the visa?? Please share if any of you have experienced this case around, I have my two elder brothers and parents settled in Pakistan, one sister in canada and one in UAE, other ties to my homeland could be my parents property, i m the youngest in my siblings, my parents will be sponsoring me for my studies (25k + 1st semester fees payment). I won't be showing my sister funds or anything except her name on my family info form.

Please suggest me how can I make my case stronger and what else I could show to make my home ties stronger, SHould i discuss in my SOP that my sister won't be taking care of me at all! I mean something like that in SOP???

If any one has come across similar case around or have any suggestion... Please Help!!! :-\

The more you hide the lesser would be your chances. The vice versa holds true. Genuine students never have issues.

If you have strong ties in Pakistan, it could help. But even for family info, they do not ask where the present location of family members are. My form just asked where they were born and their date of birth. So you wont have to mention anything about her location. However, they will probably know she is in Canada because all the details are recorded so they can match info such as names and D.O.B and know that she is currently in Canada.
If it is possible, you can get an employment letter which states that you are on study leave and will be returning back to Pakistan to continue working for the company, and maybe have penalties if you do not return. This could help you as it seems like a strong tie since you have a job if you decide to go back.

Same is my case my brother is PR holder( Received in 2018) who travel in the year 2013 as a student
So in family form I should mention him and in My SOP I should declare him has a PR?
Did you did the same while declaring your sis has a PR?
