PHOTOS - each member of the family?

Hi everyone, I'm in need of some assistance..

I'm also currently living in Australia. I am a dual Canadian/Australian Citizen looking to sponsor my common-law partner. We have practically finished our application although when I looked into the area specific criteria (Australia) it is saying "supply five (5) photos for each member of your family and yourself. Follow the instructions in appendix B, photo specification"

What I want to know is, is this just regarding myself (the sponsor) and my partner (common-law) as we are the only ones on the application or do they want EVERYONES photo from our family including brothers, sisters and parents...? I'm dreading that if that's the path we need to take because her family is very, very large....

Please help!

1. No. You (the sponsor) does not provide any photos. The region specific guide is addressing the immigrant (principal applicant) when it mentions "and yourself". You are already Canadian and are not included in the application for PR.

2. No. Only your common law partner and any dependents included in the application (if any) need to submit photos.

I had the same question then came across this thread. They should have said "for each member of your family if they are coming to Canada too."

Thank you!
