jnathan, hope this post from BobbyB answers your PM that you sent to me. the rules of awarding the adaptability points are same for all immigrants, no matter which country he is from. if i were you, i wouldn't take a risk of not sending the proof of residency related documents and would start collecting these documents. wish you luck.

Guy's,
You should read the options carefully. It say's this or this or this.!! It does not say this and this and this (Permanent Residents).
In effect, if your relative landed b4 they stopped IMM1000, then provide the photocopy of IM1000.
If he/she landed after they stopped, then send in the photocopy of the confirmation of PR or Photocopy of the PR card, period.

Hope this clarifies the matter.

Furthermore to my previous post, you will need to prove 3 things WRT to your claim that you have a relative in Canada. (5 points)
1)Your relationship to your relative.
2)His/her immigration status in Canada.
3)Proof that your relative is resident in Canada.

Bobby B is right. The consulate in Detroit just requested me to submit proof of residency for my sister who is a Canadian citizen.

I had not submitted them with my original application.

Send a certified copy of her long form birth certificate which includes your parent's names. It should match with yours!

an alternate to birth certificate is marriage certificate which would have the names of your relative's parents to prove the relationship.
