Hello everyone, i hope someone can help me with my query. I’ve read about the extended family that can be permitted to enter Canada, it says that any foreign national whose in an exclusive dating relationship of at least 1 year with a permanent resident is now allowed to come here in Canada. My boyfriend is Italian and weve been together for a little over one year but we have not been together physically, can he still be granted entry as an extended family? Thank you and have a good one.

Unlikely. Just clarifying that you have never met in person

What other proof to show that we are in an exclusive dating relationship other than pictures together?

Lease with both your names, shared expenses, etc.
What if we have been dating for more than a year and we met physically , we travelled & we spent time together, but we never lived together as we both are living in different countries. Will it be considered as Extended family?

Impossible to say. All you can do is apply and see.

Just wondering if we should secure the TRV first and get the IRCC authorization letter or the other way around? Will the IRCC authorization to travel will help to get our TRV approved?

TRV first or I have just read you can submit the together. Approval of the special authorization won't impact whether TRV is approved or refused.

I have an AL as an extended family but I'm not the main applicant.
Can I land in Canada according to this exemption letter before the main applicant?

do you already have the AL? Do both you and your spouse have siblings in Canada? The PA must land first if you are trying to land as PRs.
