Hi pinoypunjab. I'm sponsoring my dad with similar case (dependents below 22 at the time of submission now over 22). The dependency that requires continuous schooling is type B at the time of sponsorship application. My siblings belong to the Type A dependant but still I worry somehow since they stopped schooling and working already. Our application is also at the stage where medicals are done already, PCs etc submitted. The LVO requested some additional docs already and haven't mentioned any school requirements, no hint of any requirements related to that. I'm just holding on to the fact that they are Type A dependants which would secure their spots "hopefully".
I have reached out to someone with similar case though theirs is not PGP but sponsoring her son who came in canada by the age of over 26 independent, working already yet was type A at the time of application and then was still approved.
Now we're just waiting...
Thanks for responding first_gen,
I think I may have realized a mistake on my document update. During the IMM0008 update, my dependent was declared as Type B since he is now over 22 yrs old ( 19 then on first submission. ) You said that if you declared Type A in the beginning that will lock their status to Type A regardless of age. I thought since CIC requesting an update that means I have to enter and answer questions based on current status. Also, during the document update the checklist specifically asked for:
1) Proof of continuous full-time studies of children aged 22 and above.
2) Letters from school indicating the number of hours of classes attended per day & days attended per week.
3) Proof of full financial support by parents since attaining the age of 22.
And you mentioned that you yourself are still worried if CIC might question your siblings status as dependents since they no longer attending school and are working already.
If I made an error with the dependent type declaration, I am hoping that CIC will figure this out.
This seems to me a gray area on whose who is suppose to stay in school and whether or not should be employed.
Is there anyone here that can clarify this? I would really appreciate any inputs. Thank you.
