Hey.

I am a PR living in Canada with my husband, and I am applying for my parents' TRV (visit visa); they live in Pakistan. My father was filling out the eligibility criteria, and he was given the following question:

"Do you have a family member who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and is 18 years or older?"
(The definition of family member they give is: a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children.)

I have PR and I am above 18 years old, but I am not dependent on my father. Does this make me his dependent child or not? Should he answer yes or no to this question?

What you want is to confirm that you are not a family member.

Confirmed, you are not his family member.
