Thanks for the reply but if one could give a short straight reply that would be much appreciated. Since i already know a lot about the program, apart of the question being asked as my friend moves in a week to Canada, reading tons of text searching for the relevant answer being addressed is a kind of frustrating.

So, will my family receive visa the same day as i am ?

many thanks for the answer

If they are mentioned as 'accompanying' in your application, Yes. You should know that already as you know a lot about the program.

Ok. Thanks. i appreciate your sarcasm, but i mentioned knowing a lot about the program, not all, otherwise why would i visit this site.

Anyway sorry for being a cause of that sarcasm. :

One more question, please - Is that necessary to pass IELTS for my wife ?

LOL You seem to know very little or have not done any research on this subject.

ECA & IELTS are not necessary for spouse but will add to your CRS points.

IELTS and ECA is not mandatory for spouse (co-applicant). However, if you want to claim points for spouse's education and language, you can get it done. For ECA and IELTS for spouse you can claim up to a maximum of 10 and 20 points respectively.
