Canada Immigration Grandparents

Your grandparent may be from a country in which birth records were not issued at the time your parents were born, or were not properly kept by government officials.  In order to over come this hurdle, extrinsic evidence may be issued to prove the relationship, such as family photographs, household records, etc.  Applicants who have great difficultly in proving the blood relationship should specify this in their applications for sponsorship and permanent residency.  An alternative course of action would be to indicate to Citizenship and Immigration Canada the willingness to undergo DNA testing.
