Family Information form...HELP !!!

[jotony]

Hello, I'm filling out the family information form but In section C ,they ask abt all my brothers,sister,stepbrother and sister. My concern is My Dad (peace to his soul) had three wife but not maried to any of them, so he had around 20 kids with these 3 women include my mother (lol yah I know it's funny but it's serious for me). So in the section C ,I realy dont know how to fill out this part as I know only my brothers and sisters from my mother and don't know really all the children from the two other women .I don't know all of my brothers and sisters ,only the ones form my mother, So please can you explain how should I fill out tha part??? Should I need to fill out that part with only my brothers and sisters from my mom, OR should I need to fill it out with all the brothers and sisters from the other women too as I don't know all of them???.

Please somebody Help me

P.S : Me and my bothers and sisters from my mother ,we are 10 .
And I think the other bro and sis from the other women must be 8 or more

My opinion is you have to list all your brothers and sisters born to your mom. There is nothing wrong if you add the other brothers and sisters too in the form. However, if you are going to sponsor any of them in future after settling with PR in Canada , you have to submit the proof of relation.

wilson, the form specifically says "including half- and step- brothers and sisters". That could of course mean only those related to your mother, but I think the question is being asked so broadly with the exact purpose of listing all relatives of that nature Personally I would do all I can to get the information required, at least all the full names.

Jotony, could you get in touch with your father's other wives and ask them?

I would suggest listing all of the siblings that you know of. If you don't have full information on all of them (date of birth, addresses & the like) write an extra explanatory letter explaining the backgroud & why you don't know the details. It's better to provide as much information as you're able too & explain why there may be gaps than to not mention them & them have CIC find out while your application is being processed & assume you were hiding things from them.
That way you can get your application submitted quicker & use the time of the initial processing to find out as many of the extra details as you can about your siblings just in case CIC asks for that information.

Thats the way I'd do it if I were in your posistion anyway
