Class 2 immigrants are:

• A. a family immigrant
• B. a refugee
• C. an independent immigrant
• D. a government sponsored immigrant

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how Canada categorizes immigrants by purpose. Class 2 immigrants are people who come to Canada to join family members who are already there, typically through a sponsorship arrangement with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. This path is designed to keep families together, with the sponsor agreeing to support the newcomer financially for a set period and to help them settle.

This differs from refugees, who migrate because they are fleeing danger and usually arrive under refugee or humanitarian programs. It also differs from independent (economic) immigrants who apply on their own based on skills or job offers, without a family sponsor. Government-sponsored entrants are generally refugees or certain categories funded or facilitated by the government, not the family-join pathway.

So the description that best fits Class 2 immigrants is someone who comes to Canada to join family members through sponsorship.
