When an employer gets 81a visa pre-approval, should they also include family members?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 111 views

The 81a pre-approval is typically for the main applicant (the worker). Visa processes for family members (family reunification) are usually handled separately, though they can be initiated in parallel with or after the main applicant's visa process. Generally, the employer only provides information for the main applicant.
