I'm not sure how to answer question 4 and 5. My visitor stay extension and restoration of status was refused. In the ODN, the officer said they "advise I leave Canada", but I know that's not an order. I don't know how I should answer 4 with my extension being refused, or 5 with the "advised to leave Canada".

4. been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa (including a Certificat de Sélection du Québec [CSQ] or application to the Provincial Nominee Program) or a visitor or temporary resident visa, for Canada or any other country or territory?

5. been refused admission to, or ordered to leave, Canada or any other country or territory?

Furthermore, do i need to answer for family members not coming with me to Canada? Like parents that are living and staying in another country? The wording on a lot of this is very confusing.

Given that you have been in Canada as a visitor for 7 years you actually should consider leaving Canada given your extension and restoration was refused. You should also be applying Outland in case you are removed while your sponsorship is being processed.
 
then what's this? if my only issue is being out of status?


iii. New and Pending Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada class applications​

For applicants in status, applications should be assessed using normal procedures in IP2 and IP8. For applicants out of status, if the only issue preventing acceptance of the case is the applicant’s lack of status:

  • Assess using normal procedures in IP2 and IP8.
  • If the applicant meets all other requirements of the Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada class, their requirements for status and the inadmissibility related to the lack of status is waived by this public policy under A25.
