Do you mean spouse and children under 22? If you have a US visa, excellent travel history, all can show strong ties to home country and a good amount of cash to all travel, then yes.

How many people in your family? How much in funds? how long of visit? Properties are not funds. IRCC wants to see cash in the bank over the past 3 months that support a visit. You need to show strong ties to return (job letter with approved leave, tuition fees of children, spouse’s job letter with approved leave).

Not sure how long is your visit but you need to show personal bank accounts (not company) to support a visit without using all your funds. So for a family of 5, you need to show a lot of cash as Canada/airfare/insurance is expense. Funds is just one part. Why would you apply without your family if you are coming for tourism?

That may be enough in cash after paying for airfare/insurance. It will depend on your itinerary. People on here are refused for lack of funds with 2 people and have $20k.
Even my wife also have her personal account of about CAD 35k as her personal funds and the visit is just two weeks duration
