Need advice urgently re citizenship

[KKGR30]

First of all thank you for taking the trouble to read this. Thank you to anyone who is able to advise and support. We have a complex situation in my family we are worried about. I was wondering if there is anyone on here with immigration knowledge, legal training or/and could help alleviate concerns.

Our biological Father went to Canada in 2000 with his wife. (not our Mom). He has never received his citizenship. We believe we know why because of criminal past though it was over 10 years ago. His wife died died of cancer in Canada. He was told he would have to leave Canada. He was allowed to stay on compassionate grounds when he appealed it. She had been sponsoring him.

Our sister wanted to move their. She went around 5 years ago in her own right. She did NOT use our biological Father or his wife as status to go over. She went on her own work visa which then she switched to a study visa. She is legally their in her own right.

He is now being deported from Canada for various reasons. Our sister is staying in Canada as she is allowed too. Our sister will beable to apply for her own citizenship next year. Our sister is 28.

We are concerned his deportation will affect our sister. She is not linked to him in any other way than blood. Our sister has no health issues, no criminal record and will satisfy Canadian citizenship in her own right. She has had no problems getting her new visa's. Her last study visa was renewed for 2 years rather than renewals of 1 year that it had been renewed for in previous years.

Does anyone have any knowledge and think she will have any problems because of her blood connection?. Thank you in advance

Your sister will not be impacted. Your father's situation will have no impact on your sister's status or ability to apply.

Note that if your sister is currently on a study visa then she will qualify to apply for permanent residency next year (not citizenship). She must become a PR first and live in Canada for at least two years after becoming a permanent resident before she can apply to become a citizen.

If, as you say, your sister was not included as a dependent in her father's application, then his situation has nothing to do with her.

Thank you both so much for your replies: You have made us all very happy and we are so relieved. There has been some tears of relief this morning especially from our mom.

Fortunately our sister was never on her Father paperwork or his wife's before she died. Wow you have made our day. Thank you doesn't seem enough however I will say it again, thank you. Our sister is very, very independent and she was determined to go in her own right, to Canada and not on the back of anyone else when she moved there.

Also thank you for the additional advice. I am sure our sister knows this re her residency and her being PR 1st. We didn't for obvious reasons. We don't tend to discuss this situation and affects etc. much with her as there is no love lost between us, her brothers, and our biological Father. I am not going to go into any more as it is personal family stuff, as I am sure you can understand.

Thank you once again
