Yes vishal-07, I very well understand your concern.I myself am very confused. The thing is that this topic of date of submission of profile and date of application is not even mentioned anywhere else not to think of explanation . I have been trying to get some views/ explanation on this on forums from senior members.
Thanks lino82. It should be the way you mentioned. But they have defined differently. I am reproducing the two notices here which are inside the application sections "? HELP"
You can be awarded points if you or your spouse or common-law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) has:
a brother or sister who is (on both the date you submit your profile and when you submit your application for permanent residence)
18 years of age or older
a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
living in Canada
Brother or sister relationships include:
biological (this means you are related by blood)
brother or sister
half-brother or sister
adopted brother or sister
step-brother or step-sister (this means you are not related by blood or adoption, but your parents are married or in a common law relationship on both the date you submit your profile and when you submit your application for permanent residence)
CRS - 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.
Okay...from what you've quoted,it appears that IRCC's logic of introducing the 'sibling additional points' is to attract people with siblings already in Canada,to apply.....that way,those who may already have had an EE profile prior to sibling being there on PR will not be eligible for the additional points...
I do not see much logic in that as ppl could withdraw an existing profile and create a fresh one to be eligible for the additional points....
you may take a second opinion from someone more thorough on the issue...

but cic may have a point there as the points were introduced mainly to 'attract' those with siblings already in Canada,to apply & not to help those who already applied with additional points...however people can get around the issue the way u suggested...
Like they give huge importance to ielts,they link sibling's presence in Canada with a higher chance to succeed...(we may not agree with their logic)...they want more of such ppl to apply...
