Hi everyone :)

As a reminder, I'm a Canadian citizen, who is getting married to an Indonesian citizen near the end of this year. This is our first marriage, and we have never had any children. After the wedding, I will be sponsoring her to Canada.

Some more questions:

1. Generic Application form for Canada:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf

For question 3, "How many family members, including you, are in this application", should she put 1 (herself)? See, the CIC want that any family members (even if NOT accompanying the principal applicant to Canada) be included in the application form.

Yes.

And my future wife has her mother and brother (her father is deceased), but I am not sure whether they should be included in the application? (Just to clarify, her mother and brother are not going to Canada).

In other words, when the CIC say "You must provide the following details about each of your family members, whether they will be accompanying to Canada or not", what do they mean by "family members"? Does it include the parent(s) and sibling(s) of the principal applicant?

No, this part is just for people who are dependent on your wife.


2. "Additional Dependants / Declaration":
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008DEPENU.pdf

Since my future wife has no children, and her mother and brother are not coming to Canada, does she even have to include this form? If she decided to include the form and write "Not Applicable" in all of the fields, will she have to sign it?

Nope, doesn't need to. But she does need to include her mother, father, and siblings on IMM 5406.


3. Additional Family Information:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5406E.PDF

Does she have to write the details about her father, mother and brother, even though they're not joining her to Canada?

Thanks!!
