The Answer is "No" if they are travelling to Canada without you, "Yes" if you are going and bringing them

Just Passport and other ID is enough if you are taking upfront medical (Taking medical before submitting the application). If not, your wife must carry the medical request letter from IRCC

"Yes" since you submitting your application using your wife GCKey and she is outside Canada

There may be rejections without enrollment letter, Better wait for the enrollment letter. Also attach the calls history, marriage photos just to make application stronger.

Thank you for the reply.
In the GCKEY portal where should we upload proof of relationship I see most people have that option separately showing in their portal but that can only be shown if we are going to answer YES for #2 Doubt that I mentioned above.

#4 Doubt
Do I have to notarize any document from Canada like invitation letter or any other document ?

#5 Doubt
Do we have to upload the document checklist for Canada and my home country as well after marking tick box ?
