In accordance with the law, family members receive the same legal status and are entitled to the same rights as the sponsor.[1] This is generally the case in practice. Nevertheless, CPR is aware of sporadic cases of issuance of Immigration Act residence permits (with inherent costs and subject to a different legal regime for renovation) to family members regarding whom family reunification was accepted and carried out, but who are not included in the restricted list of eligible members of the Asylum Act.
According to CPR’s observation, when cessation procedures are triggered with regard to the sponsor, family members are also subject to similar procedures.
