Thanks.

Lastly, the son who is 19 was recently charged and convicted of Driving While Impaired in Peru. I know in Canada, a DWI is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code and is listed as a hybrid offence. Would his conviction affect the father's application for permanent residence in any way?

Yes, his son is inadmissible to Canada.
 
Ok, thought so.

If the father has a calculated CRS score of 438, do you think there is a likelihood of him to get an invitation to apply for permanent residence? Or is that just a wait and see type of deal? Again, no arranged employment or valid job offer.
 
The cutoff of the most recent draw was at 442 so his chances are quite decent.
 
Would he need a valid job offer or arranged employment to get accepted? Or would that just bump his CRS profile up to get an invitation to apply?
 
I am curious about the 22-year old after reading this. Could he qualify as an overage dependent since he is a full-time student and has depended on his parents financially?


Definition of a dependent child as of October 24, 2017

Children qualify as dependants if they meet both of these requirements:

  • they’re under 22 years old, and
  • they don’t have a spouse or common-law partner.
Children 22 years old or older (also known as an overage dependent children) qualify as dependants if they meet both of these requirements:

  • they have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22, and
  • they are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition.
  • have depended largely on a parent's financial support since they became a spouse or partner.
Overage dependants

To be eligible as a dependant, children 22 years old and older must:

  • have depended on a parent's financial support since before the age of 22 because of a physical or mental condition
or

  • have been a full-time student on an ongoing basis since before the age of 22, and
  • have depended on a parent's financial support since that time.
 
You tell me, is he (his son) unable to support himself because of a mental or physical condition?
 
No, but..
  • have been a full-time student on an ongoing basis since before the age of 22, and
  • have depended on a parent's financial support since that time.
Would that not make him eligible as an overage dependent or am I reading that wrong?

Such definition of a dependent does not apply anymore. "Definition of a dependent child on or before July 31, 2014"
 
Ah, yes! Thank you. So the 19-year-old before the DWI conviction. Would he be considered a dependant Type A based off of the following...

Definition of a dependent child from August 1, 2014, to October 23, 2017

Children qualify as dependants if they are:

  • under 19 years old, and do not have a spouse or common-law partner, or
  • 19 years old or older (also known as overage dependent children) and have depended on the parent’s financial support since before the age of 19 because of a physical or mental condition
 
You are still reading the wrong definition of a dependent child "August 1, 2014, to October 23, 2017"

That's what currently applies.
 
Ok, thanks so much.

When doing the CRS scores, even though his wife did the language tests, has a high education in Peru, but will not be accompanying him to Canada, her information does not count towards the CRS point system, right? It would just be solely his information that does into calculating the scores?

Also, his work experience of 11 years as a welder with no proper license would count as a skilled experience?
 
Hi I didn't show my work experience when I applied for study visa from india can I show that now if I apply for any stream?

Her language scores/education are irrelevant. We do not see often an applicant with a NOC of a trade apply under the Federal Skilled Worker program so I cannot answer your question regarding not having a license.
