What does “accompany” mean within the framework of the IEC initiative?
With the framework of the IEC iniative, the verb “accompany” means “to be dependent on” or “to be reliant on”. On the Declaration Form, when you tick that you will not be “accompanied” to Canada, you acknowledge that no individual will be reliant on you. In other words, you declare knowing that no other individual may benefit from a status, visa or permit (i.e. work or study) based on the simple fact of going to Canada with you. In this sense, you cannot be “accompanied” to Canada as each of your dependants is responsible for obtaining his/her own status in Canada. Your dependants can go with you to Canada but each person is responsible for his/her own application and/or his/her own status (please see the explanations below).
