This public policy also extends to family members of the applicant in Canada.
The definition of a family member (under subsection 1(3) of the Regulations) simply means those persons related to the principal applicant as a result of marriage or common-law relationships such as spouse or children. Note: This does not include parents or grandparents.
The same criteria applies to family members of the applicant currently living abroad as well. However, there is an exemption for some requirements needed for family members abroad; they are not needed to indicate the class under which they applying for. By classes, we mean:
All that a family member currently in Canada needs to qualify for PR is to have been included in the PR application under this new public policy as an “accompanying family member” and not be inadmissible as per the Act and Regulations.
