Family Photo Requirement

[sl2ubc]

I'm applying shortly for PR via the CEC. I'm currently single, have never been married, and have no children.

The document checklist, under Photo Requirements, specifies that the applicant should "supply (6) photos for each member of your family, whether accompanying or not, and yourself."

In my case, does this mean I have to supply 6 photos of my parents and siblings?? That seems absurd as they are not my dependents and won't be accompanying me anyway..

If someone could clarify this for me, that would be great - Thanks!

Yes! ajcanada is correct. The official statement is 'Your family members include your spouse or common-law partner, your dependent children and any children that are their dependent children.'
