Hey everyone, I am applying for PR in IRCC after receiving Nominee Approval Confirmation from OINP (ontario provincial nominee program),NON EE Stream, there is this form
IMM 5406 - "
Additional Family Information"
In there, it states:
"You (the principal applicant) must fill out this form for yourself and on behalf of any of your family members 18 years of age or older who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Enter all names in English and in your native language (for example, Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Korean or Japanese script or Chinese commercial/telegraphic code). If a section does not apply, write “Not Applicable.""
And then there is a button "
Add a family member" so that I fill out a form for myself, and then fill out a form on behalf of family member(s).
In this case, do family members include parents? My confusion comes from the fact that in the statement above it reads "
any of your family members 18 years of age or older who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents.", from that part I understood that my parents fall under that category (they are not canadian citizens).
However, then I visited
IRCC's glossary with explanation of terms used in PR applications (
Glossary - Canada.ca ) and there, it states that they define family members as
An applicant’s closest relatives, in the context of an application to IRCC. It is defined as a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children.
Does anyone know if we should include parents there or no?
