first landing with some of dependents

[baqi]

I have got the visa stamped stating that I have to enter Canada by 15th October 2018.

Due to some family commitments, can I (the principal applicant) and one of my son do the first landing in August, and then my spouse and other kids come in October.

In other words, is it mandatory that all the dependents must accompany the principal applicant at the time of first landing?

As long as the primary applicant lands first it is fine.
