Canada usually defines this as spouse and dependent children. Your parents may not have health coverage for up to 3 months.
Can you pls share the source of this info? Does it apply to all CIC offices allover Canada and abroad?
just the VFS offices that are affected outside canada ! it has nothing to do with offices in canada except for the service canada they have suspended the biometrics until furher notice ! just confimed with my brother hes a VO in edmonton !
Link is talking about Visa Application Centres (VAC/VFS). IRCC has outsourced certain services (not all) to these centres for facilitation.
IRCC/CIC is different from VAC/VFS.
yes this is exactly what i want to do. So far it shows the application is under my dad's name. so hopefully the officer will understand the situation

Here some good news for you.
If the principal applicant passes away during processing of the application, an officer is authorized to process the surviving spouse or partner as the principal applicant. To qualify, that person must be a family class member in their own right, i.e. also be the sponsor’s parent or grandparent.
