IMM 5406: Additional Family Information is a preparation note for the official IRCC form, not a substitute for it. Download the current form from canada.ca, fill that file, and save it as the portal asks. This page explains the usual upload limit (under 4 MB, one file per slot) and the mistakes that get a file rejected. It does not change the questions on the form or the documents your program requires. If the saved file is too large, or if several scans need to become one PDF, compress or merge it before you upload, then confirm the result against the instructions printed on the form.
What to know before you fill it out
Consistency matters here, names, dates, and relationships should match exactly what's on IMM 0008 and any other family-related forms in your package.
