Family members included in an application for permanent residence or an application for a temporary purpose, do not need to have been lawfully admitted to the country in which the application is submitted. Such a requirement would make it impossible for some families to submit visa applications anywhere.
This comes from the proccessing operation manual page 13 and 14 which can be found google searching "cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op01-eng.pdf" and clicking at the first hit.
