I don't know how many times I can tell you that they are not accompanying you until you're happy. So go ahead and put them as accompanying, and then when IRCC asks why they were not listed as accompanying on your PR, then try to explain that they were not accompanying.

I was just asking what that new meaning meant, nothing extra. If i had known the meaning myself, i would not be asking it. And it definitely is not the same as all those posts people have posted all the way down to 2013. Really.

I know, I know. But they're not accompanying you. If they were accompanying you, you would have listed them as accompanying in your PR application. Just because they're travelling at the same time and may stay at the same hotel doesn't mean they are accompanying you because you would have had to list them as accompanying in your PR application.

If your intention, though, is to get them into Canada and then find a way to have them stay, whether it be through extension after extension or H&C application, then you should have listed them as accompanying.

I got my visitor visa in 2017 when single. Now I'm applying for a visitor visa for my wife; both outside of Canada. IRCC says "This means you will be staying with a family member who is already in Canada, or has applied to come to Canada and has been accepted as a visitor, worker or student." Now, should I answer Yes as we're gonna travel together and I have been accepted as a visitor previously? Thanks.

Hi,
I am currently on study permit and my wife is on work permit. We have bitter relationship now and hence i converted my dependent status to student. But, unfortunately i got less time for study duration so now i want to apply for study permit extention. We are not talking for last 1 year so though we are married we are not together. I also don’t hv her work permit. Now, while applying for my study permit extention, i got a question on which i am confused.
The question is “ Are you accompanying a family member who has a status in Canada ?
Now, she is on her seperate work permit and i have changed from dependent to study permit so i am not dependent on her and she is already in canada for last 2 years. So what should i write as an answer to this question? Is it yes or No?

Thank you in advance.

DON”T TYPE IN CAPS - it means you are YELLING!!!

They apply for a TRV just like you did. They show their funds (your bank account), ties to home country (jobs, investments, tuition), travel history and reasons to travel. Why did you apply without them in the first place?

See note about applying separately.

Do I have to apply separately for my family members?
Family members must complete their own application forms. However, you may submit your applications together online or at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) and use one payment receipt for the total amount.

Your spouse or common-law partner and children must meet all of the requirements for temporary residence in Canada.
