It says on the basic guide that "All family members, even if they're not going to Canada with you" need to pass a medical exam. Is that just the household family number (The number of family actually living with the PA) or does it mean even the PA's parents, siblings regardless if they live with them or not? Lastly, does that include the sponsor if I'm living with the PA? (Living in the US with my PA as a PR of the US).

My concern is that we do not talk to my spouses' parents or siblings due to their unacceptance of me (We're an LGBT couple) and haven't done so in over a year (We basically gave up and told them both or none...they chose none). Is this something I can explain to the CIC if they request medicals from the PA's parents? Cause there is no physical way we will be able to get them to comply.

Just a bit confused. I don't want to assume anything and want to ensure I am prepared for when the requests come :)

It means the household family number. It's confusing because CIC uses family in two senses, as you've identified. You will not need to get medical checkups done for parents and siblings of the PA.

Thank you so much. So it will just be them getting the medical exam since it's just us two, I can safely assume? They're the only one on the application.
