I got doubt in that renaissance made in Express entry system. Thus, CIC provides additional points if siblings of primary applicant or spouse is Citizenship holder/PR holder.

Does my uncle (Mom's blood brother) son/daughter sibling for me ? (or only my blood brother/sister is sibling for me)
Below is what I can see when I click on help button next to sibling points section in EE profile:



RS - Additional - PR or Canadian Sibling
Points can be awarded if the principal applicant or accompanying spouse or common-law partner has a sibling who is 18 years of age or older as of the date of application and who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Canada.

Sibling relationships include the following:

  • Biological brother or sister
  • Adopted brother or sister
  • Half-brother or half-sister
  • Step-brother or step-sister

You must provide supporting documents ie. birth certificates (must contain the names of the parents), marriage certificates, legal adoption documents, and any other additional documents that prove the sibling relationship.

I got my Indian PCC from the consulate. It just took a day. Went there in the morning and got it in the evening. So check with your nearest consulate.

No, biological brother/sister is your brother/sister from same parents.

Half brother/sister is a sibling who has only one parent in common.

Step brother/sister is not connected by blood, but by parents' marriage(parents got divorced and remarried).

As my Uncle Son/Daughter is holding Canada Citizenship, I was keen to know if I get additional points because of this and since my spouse is going to primary applicant!
I understand, but unfortunately this does not apply. :(
