The answer is no, as your spouse doesn't have status in Canada nor is she coming as a PR.

I am applying for Student Visa online. my sister is already in Canada on study permit for past 2 years. My parents also have TRVs but they are not accompanying me to Canada. So , regarding my sister, Should I write YES or No in the question ?

Thanks,
Rohit

Thanks for replying. Can you please explain the reason, I am very confused about it, because the explanation on clicking it says that This means you will be staying with a family member who is already in Canada or has been accepted as a visitor, worker or student.

Thanks again
Rohit

You are not moving to Canada with someone who is a PR or citizen.
Thats right but its a different question of whether you have a family member who is PR or citizen. The question about which I am asking in different from this - it asks if family member has status in Canada - either visitor, worker or student.

Family member in Canada usually is defined as spouse and children.

Yeah but in this case, if we do YES in that accompanying ( I did it just to check ) , Application asks to upload a proof of Relationship - they have written that you can upload inside pages of both passport showing the parents name, so that means it is applicable for brother and sister. Does anyone have personal experience about it ?

Yes family member would typically mean direct relatives like parents, spouse, child, sibling.
In my case I am applying for BOWP and extending my dependent's study permit, we live already in Canada. He is accompanying me so should I answer yes or not to ( Are you accompanying a family member who has status in Canada?)
