Hey there,
I am really confused with 2 questions in my Express Entry Profile.
I tried to figure it out via the CRS tool, but I can't. I have 435 points, so I really try to squeeze out the last few points to get an invitation soon.
I have a Canadian partner - therefore I would chose "Common Law" for marital status.
In the CRS tool, the next thing that pops up is if my partner is Canadian - so I choose "Yes".
Then, question number " 10) Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?
Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:
So, here I get stuck. My Canadian Partner has siblings who are Canadian citizen. Do I choose yes in this question? The text in the brackets irritates me: ..."(if they will come with you to Canada)".
Does that mean I can only choose yes if my partner would be non Canadian and be immigrating with me and has Canadian siblings?
Which means for me that I cannot tick the box since my Canadian partner is of course not immigrating with me since he is Canadian?
It's quite important, since I get 15 more extra points if I choose yes in question number 10
However, if I can chose yes and stick with the marital status common law - is that the point where I have to proof our relationship with all kinds of crazy paperwork?
My original idea was to apply as a single and try to collect enough points for skilled worker express entry and not go thru paperwork with a common law sponsorship...
Thanks for any helpful hints!
