Hello,

I'm looking to apply for an outland spousal PR application, and this situation might be a bit a sensitive for some family members. I'm wondering if this is kept confidential between the principal applicant and the spouse, or does the CIC have to contact family or require any information from them?

Thank you!

I've never heard of a situation where CIC contacts family. I think you should be fine.

FROM them no, but they require information about your parents and siblings. But you can easily get that from common knowledge (Their names, birthdates and addresses)

Otherwise they don't contact family.
