Family member declarations

I apologize if this has been asked and answered...boy there are a lot of posts on here!

I found on the CIC website this item:
"You must include all your family members even if they are not coming to Canada with you. This includes:

• spouse or partner
• dependent children
• dependent children of dependent children (grandchildren)

Also, for you to become a permanent resident, all your family members must pass a medical exam and background checks even if they are not coming to Canada with you.

If you don’t include all of them:

• you could be refused entry into Canada, and
• you may not be able to sponsor the family members you didn’t include in your application to come to Canada at a later date."

So just to clarify if his only Family is his parents and adult brother they do not need to be listed?

Yes, this commonly causes confusion. You are correct in not including parents or brother as CIC’s definition of family members is exactly as stated. Only list spouse and dependants.

They are not listed on that form, that is correct, however they are listed in another (the number escapes me at the moment). They do NOT need to undergo medicals or have PCC's done.
