各位前辈,想咨询一下,这里的家庭成员是指申请人的父母兄弟姐妹吗?
11.NON-ACCOMPANYING FAMILY MEMBERS DECLARATION
If you have family members who do not intend to emigrate to Canada with you, you must submit a notarized statutory declaration with your application which:
identifies these family members and their relationship to you;
states your intention to proceed to Canada without them; and
indicates whether or not you wish these persons to retain eligibility to be sponsored by you once you have settled in Canada.
Note: Non-accompanying family members are still required to successfully meet immigration medical and security standards at the same time as you. They will retain eligibility to be sponsored by you as a member of the Family Class once you have settled in Canada for as long as they are your:
spouse,
common-law partner, or
dependent children
as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations.
If you have non-accompanying family members who are either a spouse from whom you are legally separated or your children who are not in your legal custody, it is not necessary for them to be examined. However, if they are not examined at the time of your application, you will not be able to sponsor them at any time in the future.
