Hi everyone - I am an international student in Canada and now I am extending my study permit (and meanwhile extending my wife's open work permit and my 3-year-old daughter's visitor status).

However when filling the imm5257b_1 form for my daughter, it says: Indicate whether you are: (1) The principal applicant (2) The spouse, common-law partner or dependent child aged 18 years or older of the principal applicant. Obviously the 3-year old child doesn't fit into any category - what shall I do?

Thanks!

Hi both - that is something confusing me. What can I do for children under 18 in this case?

How did I get the form - I set up a new application in CIC website, answered all the questions of my family (including my little one), and it sent me to the document uploading page. Under the children's section, I downloaded this form "imm5257b_1.pdf" with the title of "Schedule 1 - Application for temporary residence"
