Just wanted to clarify that it is not 100% guaranteed refers to getting into Canada not getting asylum. You will still need to go through the asylum process after you arrive in Canada.

Are you in the US? I may be wrong, but unless you are claiming exemption from the safe third country agreement, having family in Canada will have limited benefits. As mentioned, you will still need to go through the refugee process and present your justification for claiming asylum.

of course i will go through the process and provide my justification for claiming asylum, but my question in order to have an exemption to the safe third country agreement family member is my wife's uncle not mine,so iam still eligible to have and exception?

They can go together at the border. The officers will process her claim first and then the husband an kids will on the basis of her claim.

The family member exemption for refugees only applies if you are entering Canada from the United States. If you are not coming from the United States, having family in Canada will have no effect on your application.

The problem is most people who want asylum need a TRV to get to Canada. For some reason getting a US visitor visa is a lot easier than a Canadian one.
