Hello forum my cousin was raised by a single mother but in March her mother abruptly passed on. My mother has pretty much been financially providing for all her fees and needs and before my family immigrated to Canada in 2016 she used to live with us. Which brings me to my question, is she considered an orphan despite the fact that we don't know her father's whereabouts all we know is that she is 'homeless' because she lives with a different relative every other month because no one is willing to take her on financially. She is 14 and my mother is a PR my dad is a Citizen. Any advice.
