@Wandering Mind Sis, since you've already filled up your eAPR, I got a quick question. Is there a section to list all siblings including half-siblings and step-siblings? Thanks.

Good morning everyone. I have a crazy cultural question. In American, we never refer to each other as brother/sister/friend/buddy. The closest things might be man/dude, but they are more of a part of a greeting like Hey man or Hey dude.

Are brother/sister/friend/buddy used a lot in other countries? If so, which ones? Thanks in advance for the education.

Hello my friend! I am still in the process of filling it all up. So much to do, so little time!

There's a section that asks for all the family members "not identified in your application" - parents (both dead and alive) and siblings. They don't specifically ask for half siblings and step-siblings but I'm assuming that they'd like to know about all the chidren your parents had with each other or with other spouses.

I could be wrong but that's my understanding.

Brother and sister are very commonly used when meeting strangers in arabian countries

Wait for 2-3 more draws if you can as Quota will take some time to filled up. I guess still 2k remaining.

Will CIC know if I did not enter all my siblings' names?

All my life I've been giving unsolicited advice to people about having their correct names on all of their documents but no one listens to me

I remember reading your thread about your wife's name. And I gave it a lot of thought too but frankly I don't know for sure what you should be doing.

If I were you, I'd let her current passport remain as it is right now. Her name isn't incorrect on the passport, it's just all put together in one section instead of being broken up into "Given name" and "Surname". Honestly, I don't see a problem with that and can't imagine why she'll face any inconvenience in Canada.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Truly appreciate your advice! Growing up, no one really told us how important it is to have correct names on all documents. It doesnt help that some of our names are just not really meant to be spelt in English, neither does it help to have a govt that doesnt give a flying toot about how ur name is arranged or spelt in official documents At least things are changing now and ppl have more sense these days, hopefully the next generation of kids wont have these kinda problems .... or names. :-D

I am from Nigeria and we use brother/sister a lot.

I don't think they have a way of knowing if you don't tell them

Are you American? My American Brother in law often refers to greets me and his son with, "hey buddy!" My American Ex Boyfriend also used to say things like, "That's me and my buddy Ryan in the photograph." So I thought it was pretty common there. Yeah granted, I haven't heard "Brother" and "Sister" often.

I lived half my life in the Middle East, and yeah I agree with the other user who said that it was commonly used in Arabic culture.

"Hey Friend," is something I hear Singaporeans use.
