Hi first gen. This is the letter.
I am now completing the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa. It appears that your children listed below do not meet the definition of a dependant, and thus, do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Pursuant to section 2 of the regulations, a dependent child, in respect of a parent, means a child who
(b) is in one of the following situations of dependency, namely,
(i) is less than 22 years of age and not a spouse or common-law partner,
(ii) is 22 years of age or older and has depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22 – or if the child became a spouse or common law partner before the age of 22, since becoming a spouse or common-law partner – and since before the age of 22 or since becoming a spouse or common-law partner, as the case may be, has been a student
(A) continuously enrolled in and attending a post-secondary institution that is accredited by the relevant government authority, and
(B) actively pursuing a course of academic, professional or vocational training on a full-time basis, or
(iii) is 22 years of age or older and has depended substantially on the financial support
of a parent since before the age of 22 and is unable to be financially self-supporting due to a physical or mental condition.
Based on the evidence submitted I am not satisfied that **** meet the above definition because sufficient evidence has not been provided to show continuous enrolment and active pursuit of full-time studies or training since attaining the age of 22 or that they are unable to be financially self-supporting due to a physical or mental condition. I am not satisfied because there is no indication that they have a physical or mental condition and because on the Schedule A: Background / Declaration for *****,he declares having completed his studies in February 2014, at which time he was conferred the degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery. He also declares that from February to August of 2014, doing an Internship at ***** Hospital in Pakistan.
As ****** has declared having completed his studies in February 2014, I am not satisfied that he meets the above definition.
Before a final decision regarding the eligibility of your above children as dependants is made, you are being given thirty (30) days to provide full transcripts for all studies or training from the age of 21 onwards along with any additional information you wish to submit. The information you submit must be sufficient to clearly demonstrate that the above definition is met.
