Remove sibling points after ITA, possible?

[aniruddhabhatt]

Update: Received the ITA, but looking for an answer to a follow-up question now. Details in the comments below


Hi all,

Just noticed that there has been a draw today (in the past hour) for CEC category (at 511 points). My brother's profile is at 529 points but we haven't received an ITA? Any thoughts why it might be??

(his profile has been in submitted stage, and says eligible for both CEC and FSW. He had just declined an ITA last month but that shouldn't change anything right?)


Thank you, and would appreciate any responses/experience

Can take up to 72 hours. Everytime there is a draw people come on the forum and ask why they haven't received an ITA within an hour of the draw.

Loll thank you @Naturgrl .. appreciate your patient and factual response.

It's def an anxious situation, so good to know it's not happening for the first time.

Hi again @Naturgrl and @CanGoldDigger,

Thank you again for your kind words earlier, my brother got his ITA now! I do have one more follow-up question if you could please help me with:

So..

1. I, a Canadian citizen, wasn't living/physically-present in Canada for last two years actively (I works for a canadian client remotely as a sole proprietor, and maintain ties like phone bills, banks account, credit cards, driving license as well as a functional/friend's address).
2. I just (physically) moved back to Canada again last month, to ensure my brother gets the 15 extra points. With an intent to live here atleast for the time his application gets processed.
3. However, ideally, I would now like to have the flexibility to travel/move out, as the 15 points aren't technically needed (his score is still above the cutoff without 15 points). So I'm wondering if he can submit his profile without the 15 points now? And if yes, how should he word the LOE??

I understand it's bit of a unique situation, and hence would like to know your inputs or experience with this. Thanks a lot, would really appreciate responses or referral to someone who can help me navigate.

(cc: @iSaidGoodDay too because I read some of your thoughtful responses on other threads.)

A solid proof of residence can be for example lease and utilities bills. If you have them, you are good most likely.

@CanGoldDigger, agreed. However I'm asking if he can change the sibling answer to 'No' now after receiving the ITA. So we can avoid the whole complexity of my physical residence in Canada, and additional paperwork.

Yes, no problem, if he doesn't drop below a cut off.

Normally I would say that would be enough proof but given he was returning only to secure points for his sibling I would have more evidence. If they don’t need the points much easier not to claim them.
