Sending ID copies of family members who are citizens of Canada

[BenA105]

I'm just putting the finishing touches to my wife's application to come to Canada as my spouse. Just reading through the country specific guidelines for Canada.

It states that we should send photocopies of Canadian Passport/PR Card for her family members who are Canadian PRs/Citizens.

She has an Aunt, Uncle and cousins who are Canadian naturalised citizens. Do I need copies of their documents? Or is it just direct relatives (parents, siblings - who aren't Canadian)

Thanks

It applies on family members like dependent children or a spouse or a common-law partner of a principal applicant.. the ones that can be sponsored along with the principal applicant.

Are you sure about this?

Her Mum, Dad and sisters aren't Canadian/won't be joining. But her Aunt and Uncle and their children are Canadian naturalized. They're listed on the relatives in Canada part of her forms...

Thanks

She lives in Armenia - she is a citizen there.

OK.. I see now.. Missed that part. In that case get the copies of their documents!

"Family Members" is defined as a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children.

For sure? Just in her sponsorship questionnaire (IMM5490) it asks for information on Canadian relatives, so I've listed her Aunt/Uncle/Cousins there...

I can't wait for this thing to be sent off now

She must list other relatives living in Canada in IMM5490 but is not required to include their IDs.

You do not need to include ID's of relatives who are not being sponsored by the sponsor.

Great! Thanks everybody! One less thing to freak out about now

Dear Star Members,

Can I add in the EE form if I have a cousin who is a PR of Canada? He is not my blood relation or a sibling though. He is a far off relative to me.

Please assist.

Regards,
Kalyan.

Post in the EE section of the forum.
