All family members (spouse and dependent children) must pass the medical and other application requirements in order for the primary applicant to be approved. If one of the other family members ends up being inadmissible due to medical issues or other factors, then the application is refused.No I am saying when someone passes all the qualifications they needed but the spouse didn’t why it matters for the other applicants??? Thinking from IRCC perspective.
These are the rules and have always been.
If you want to understand the rationale for this from IRCC's perspective, then it's very straight forward. If this rule wasn't in place, then a primary applicant could simply exclude a medically inadmissible family member from their application when they are applying for PR and then later sponsor them through family sponsorship (after their own PR is approved). The rule is in place to prevent people from using this loop hole. All family members must pass the medical whether they are accompanying or non-accompanying in the application. If one family member can't pass the medical, then everyone is refused.
