RELATIVES IN CANADA

[balo]

Dear Expert, need your guidance on this.
I will submit my application soon, and would like to declare the following relatives in Canada:
1) I have 2 newphews with PR status (sons of my deceased brother)- both are minors, high school students. My brother's wife remarried a Canadian National but she still carrying our Surname (she told me it will be changed only after they got their Canadian citizenship), she gave me copies of their PR card, birth certificate, marriage contract from National statistic office showing the 2 marriages (with my brother & Canadian husband), electricity bill, and other proof of residences in Canada.
2) Cousin-my husband has a first cousin a Canadian passport holder, they gave us also copy of passport, electricity bill and birth certificate.
Question - will CIC grant us points on this, PLEASE ADVISE, THANKS

I doubt that u can claim points for your relative who has remarried. For option 2, can claim points. Please note the relation should be based on blood ties. Distant relatives can not be a support for immigration purposes.

Cousin of your husband need to prove relation by way of identity of his father and father of your husband...for eg both fathers are brothers.

You get points for the nephews but you don't get points for a cousin. Still, doesn't matter because you get only 5 points for a relative, you don't get more points for more relatives.

You can see this explained here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/factor-adaptability.asp

Relatives in Canada
You, or your accompanying spouse or common-law partner, have a relative (parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, child of a parent, sibling, child of a grandparent, aunt or uncle, or grandchild of a parent, niece or nephew) who is residing in Canada and is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. 5

You can only count points from each category once. You can claim points from a category either for you, or for your spouse or common-law partner, but not for both.

Thanks Leon, I'm worried coz' my nephews are just minors

 

[Leon]

It does not say anywhere that they can't be minors.

As Leon said below they are minors. You can also claim that they have no relatives their from their late father's side in Canada and you want to be there for them. Long shot but can't hurt.

CIC asks for relative's tax papers and makes the situation spicy if not provided. I wonder what they ask for minor relatives.

Agreed

You dont need any support letter but the authenticated relationship proof

 

[Leon]

I think they ask for tax records mainly because they want to make sure that the relative really lives in Canada so whatever your sister in law gave you, it doesn't hurt to send it along. Her tax records prove that she lives in Canada and maybe school records for the sons would be good.

Visa officers are Diploamts employed by Government of Canada and they are also in charge of checking vital secured information and they have access to strategic/private information about any Canadian on the grounds of security check.

They can say if anyone is on social aid or availing any kinda assistance from anyone in Canada.
I wonder why they ask for something to the applicant which they can access by themselves.

Maybe they can see it but it is a lot less work for them if they make you provide the information and they are already overworked, that is why the waiting times are long. If everybody provides as much information as possible, then they just have to check the ones that look fishy and take some random samples here and there.

thanks Leon, Yes she gave me also school ID and school graduation diploma of my nephews, hope this will help
