Hi All,

Just wondering if for any reason, principal applicant cannot give landing in Canada with the family for the first time, can dependant do on their own?. Can anyone cite documented rule from Canadian Immigration in this regards, just to be sure. Thanks in advance.

The principal applicant need to land first or together with the accompanying family members. If the PA did land alone, the dependents can land at any date before the expiry date of their visa.

The answers you have gotten are correct.  The PA must either land before the family or along with the family.

You wanted an official link.  Here it is:

Quote from: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf - Page 53
17. Procedure: Issuing visas

When all requirements are met, a visa may be issued.
Attach counselling information as appropriate.
Explain in writing that all family members must travel with the principal applicant, or follow before
the expiry date on their visas. Family members, who arrive in Canada before the principal
applicant, will not become permanent residents.
