1. No. He is NOT a dependent since he is over 22 years old. So he should not be listed as family. He cannot accompanying your parents.Hi
I am sponsoring my parents for 2018. For siblings who live at home but are not considered dependent where should I include their information.
The guideline is very confusing, I have a 28 years old brother who has graduated and is working but still living at home with my parents since he is not married yet.
1. I dont know weather I need to include him in the Main form( IMM 0008) or the family information form only since he is not accompanying my parents?
2. It mentions that all the family members are supposed to be in the application even if they are not accompanying the applicants and they might even need to do medical exam in order to be eligible to be sponsored later on or otherwise they might not even be let into the Canada.
Does anyone face the same issue? Can you please help?
2. No. Again he is NOT a dependent of your parents. So he is not consider as family. He however can be listed in the "additional family members from" (which only need general information like birthday and address).
There is no issue here at all. He is not considered as immediate family in term of Canada immigration. So he is not qualify to be sponsored anyway. No medical or security check will be done.
Here is the definition of dependent child:
