Extended Family Member Re-Unite - imm0006e Question - Help needed - visiting with family

[solluidforever]

Hi,

We are a family of 4 (me, wife, 2 kids all with US PR's) and planning to visit my sister's family in Toronto. My sister is a Canadian PR. So, I believe, we are allowed under the Extended Family Re-unite category for which there is imm0006e form that needs submitted. The question however I have is, I was told we'd need to submit separate forms for each of my family member who is visiting. But, my sister is of relation to sister to me only(obviously, isn't it? LOL), but what do we mention as the relation for my wife and kids in the form as there isn't an appropriate one? I am not sure if selecting "sibling" will be acceptable or correct for all of us. Please advise.

Your sister needs to ask for authorization to travel but your children and your spouse do not qualify to travel at the moment,

Really???!! I did see people mentioning here that they did travel with kids back in October where they first submitted the form for the main applicant and then submitted subsequently for kids.... but wasn't clear how

Yes - that works if the children have extended relatives in Canada. Unfortunately your sister does not qualify as an extended relative to them and your wife (just to you).
