Background/Declaration Form | Parents?

[boop3]

Hi there,
I had a bit of a question regarding the 6th question on the Background/Declaration Form. I just wanted to make sure I was reading it correctly. When it asks if "you, or any family members listed in the application, ever..." I am assuming the family members mentioned means the parents listed in questions 4-5? If so, how exactly does that work if a family member has been convicted of a crime? I personally do not have anything in my background so would the fact a parent does possibly pose an issue for me applying for PR? I would disclose it either way and I noticed the section to explain, but just wanted to make sure I was aware of exactly what it could mean for me in the long run/what to expect.
Thank you!

You question is very confusing. Are you applying under PGP or spouse/common-law?

Assuming that you are applying for PGP:
Are you filling in background information for the "applicant"? If that's the case, it's asking all family member of the applicant. i.e. spouse, dependent children (under 22 years old and not married nor in common-law relationship)
Who has been convicted of a crime? If either parents or one of the dependents did, then it needs to be disclosed.

Sorry if I did not make this clear, was slightly sleepy when writing that.

I am referring to applying for PR for myself (Family Class, spouse living apart). My husband would be sponsoring me and on the IMM5669 form for my background check it asks for my parents names (questions 4-5) and directly below it if me or any family members on the application have any of the things from A-K (question 6).

My parents are not applying for anything and PGP isn't something we would do. My parents are happy where they are. I was more just asking how their backgrounds would affect me on my own personal application for PR. And also just making sure I was reading correctly that even though the application is just for me (no dependents or other applicants) that I need to disclose anything my parents have done since I had to provide their names.

Family members in the context of spousal application for IRCC is different. It means this...

Family members
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.

So they’re not asking about your parents.

However, where the forms specifically ask you to list your parents, you must do so.

Likewise, the Additional Family Information form is asking about 'additional family', so yes, here you have to list your husband even if he is a sponsor, your parents, all children, and all your siblings. It does not matter for this form whether you plan to sponsor them later or not. You have to list them even if they are deceased. And in cases where you don’t have an information about addresses or contact info (not in touch with a sibling for example) you can write unknown and on a separate piece of paper explain your situation (Make sure you copy the form name and number, question number and the question as well as your name and dob so that it does not get misplaced and attach the explanation to the form).
