I am trying to understand the main purpose of listing all the immediate family members.

1. Is it due to the possibility of sponsoring them in future once the applicant moves to Canada? Or to perform security checks?!

2. What is the impact if someone doesn’t list them all (like half brothers/half sisters,,etc)? Other than you can not sponsor them?!

3. If somebody has half brother who hasn’t seen him ever and has no clue if he still alive or not. / no contact, does it really matter mentioning him or her?!

A mix. While siblings can't be directly sponsored, there are specific circumstances where they can be. For security checks, if your sibling's name has hits, they may do extra checks on you.

Not listing them when you know about them is misrepresentation. Just list what you know about your brother and explain on a separate sheet that you have no contact. It won't affect your app.
 
Hi Everyone,

I received an ITA from today's draw and am completing my online application. Under the family section, we have to provide additional information on family members:

Please tell us about x's immediate family members that have not been identified in the application.

This includes any parent, any spouse or common-law partner, any child including adult children, and any brothers or sisters. If the relative is deceased, provide the date of death.
• Check the list at the bottom of the form first to see information you have already saved.
• When you click "Save and Add", each relative's details will be saved to the list.
• The fields will go blank to let you add details about another relative.
• Use the modify or delete button if you want to change details that you have already saved to the list.



In the drop down menu there is the option of half brother and half sister (as well as step mother). I have half-siblings and therefore a step-mother but I am not really in touch with them. Do I have to disclose them as family members?

At the end of the section there is the following question: Have you told us about all of Rifka Chamali's relatives? (if I don't select "Yes" I cannot save and continue)

Does anyone have experience with this? Should i add their details? Do I add my half siblings only or also stepmother? I would rather add my immediate family only (i.e mother father and brother), but am unsure of what CIC requires. Kindly advise!

Thanks in advance!
Hi, Can you let me know pls. what happened to your case? Have you disclosed all half-brothers/sisters & step-mother? What is your case status now?

I need an urgent advise please.

I submitted my PR last month, MEP done and now reviewing BG check.

My issue is:

I got visit visa back in Feb. 2017 for all of us (myself, wife and the kids) visited Canada twice as tourists. Today when I was checking that application, I realized that I missed to include one of my wife’s family members (sister) in the family information (IMM5645E).

Should I file a CSE to IRCC explaining this? Looking for your advise pls. as to avoid any possible misrepresentation due to unintentional mistake.
Thanks

You can send a CSE.
 
Yes you need to disclose all family members that appear in the drop down menu.
My husband and I have applied together in express entry Should my husband mention my name too in family members even though I am in good application as dependent?

Seriously? You submitted a profile with fraudulent information, so the answer is pretty obvious...

If you proceed with the application, it will be refused and you will also be risking a 5 year misrepresentation ban from Canada.
 
Sir,
I have an IELTS score of 5.5 and certified or approved to write the journeyperson exams at Saschatwan Trade and Apprenticeship Certification commission.

I have also applied for jobs at the jobbank and saskjob site although some respective employers have written to me to have live around Saschatwan and legally entitle to work in Canada.

How can l go through this process? Can you assist me with any direction to go?

My area is construction craft Labourer and helper.

Thanks.

i made a similar mistake and did not list two half adult siblings on my application because of lack of space on the forms during work visa, student visa and visitors visa, now I added them to my PR application. now I don't know how to explain to IRCC
