please help for I-485 question

My friend's EB2 (PERM) has been approved. He was born in China but has Candian citizenship. His wife and children live in Canada. The question he wants to ask is:

Will his family need to come to USA to file I-485 when they are allowed to file? Can they stay in Canada but still file I-485 with him.

Thank you for the help!
