Hello everyone,
My sister applied for independent category immigration to Canada in Dec 2001.Our uncle ( father's brother) just landed in Canada as Permanent Resident. We have been told that for applications filed in the transition period, pts for adaptibility should be awarded even if the event occured after filing. Therefore experts , could you please tell me :

1. Can my sister claim 5 pts for adaptability, even though our uncle has just landed in PR status, or does she lose out as our uncle is not a Canadian citizen?

2. If the 5 pts can be claimed, then will the following documents (attested) be enough, or is any additional document required?
- copy of our uncle's landing papers.
- copies of birth certificates of both, father's and uncle's (in order to prove common parents) ?

Thanks in advance.

Your sister may now claim 5 points for relative in Canada. Set of birth
certificates as in (2) of your email will be just what doctor ordered...
