1. As your sister was adopted, her connection to her birth family was severed, so she is no longer considered a sibling.

Hi, i I have 435 CRS score and on my brother profile was created on 6th September 2018, below are my queries
• Currently the Cut off is lingering at 440 ish. Is it possible for the points to drop under 435 by December 2018?
• what are the chances to get an ITA by the end of the year for 435 ?
• Is 435 good enough? I have got S8 L8 R7 W7.5 in IELTS. Should I wait for the score to drop or should I re write to get better IELTS scores ?
• I have a sibling working in Torronto but she can only get her PR by May 2019, she has work permit and working in Canada with her work permit(without PR) can my CRS score increase ?

I can answer just the last one, you have to wait till May for your siblings PR. With sibling PR, you will get additional points. At this time, your brother's status cannot help you to get additional CRS points.

Hi,
Glad to hear that you got your PPR.
I am just wondering if you can help me understand a situation. The DNA test you did was it yours and your sister's? And the adoption happened in or outside Canada?
Thank you.
Lahbib

Hey Rashpal,
I am in a similar situation. In my case, my uncle (father's younger brother) adopted me when I was around 12. Now my biological sister has moved to Canada and I want to gain 15 points by adding her in my profile. I can get the birth certificates as a proof but my worry is that my actual application and passport have my uncle's and aunt's name as parents.
Could you guide me on all the documents that I need to get to submit as proofs.
Thanks in advance,
Manav Bhanot

Hi Manav, I was also in same situation, In fact I didn't even have the birth certificate, so I attached DNA report. I asked this question on twitter also and IRCC confirmed that I can use this. I would suggest you too confirm the same. Once you get ITA explain your situation transparently with the twitter reply in LOE. I am providing reply on my tweet.

@jassisidhu, check IRCC response on my tweet, you can caim sibling points for your blood related sibling even if sibling has been adopted by someone.You have Dob, I didn't have even DOB , so I attached DNA report from IRCC approved lab and they didn't ask any other document. I also provided all the details and link for tweet in LOE. IN your case DOB should suffice , provide all details transparently in LOE.
Tell your consultant and I am here in Canada because of these 15 points only.
