Accompany dependent child

[Nania]

Hi there,

I want to sponsor my mom to apply for PR, and I want my 18 years old brother (same father but different mother) accompany my mom as dependent child. Due to my mom already divorced with my dad then he got married with new wife (they are alive) and have one son who is my brother. I'd like to know that my brother can be dependent child to accompany my mom to immigrate to Canada?

Best regards,

To be clear, your brother is not your Mom's biological son, correct? Is he REALLY her dependent, REALLY? I'm as thinking there has to be either a biological connection or adoption papers in order, to achieve your goal.

Thank you for reply,he is not my mom' biological son and have no any adoption paper at all. Please advise

Then he is not your mother's dependent and cannot be included.

Also, the cut off has been reached for 2016, so you would have to apply in 2017, at which point he would no longer be a dependent since he would (presumably) be 19.

I forgot to tell that my mom has been applied pr and included my brother into her application since July 2015 and now she got passport request letter with two photos of her and dependent child.

I just wonder if passport and photo were requested, so it mean that Visa will be issued, is it correct?

How did she include him if he is not her son? Did she lie in the application?

Oh, As I asked my mom she applied pr application with house registration certificate which have my brother name in this cerificate same as my mom. I think it can show that my brother is her dependent. I am correct?

I'm not even sure if the children need to be biologically related or even adopted. Just financially/physically dependent. Either that or the VO missed it because your brother and mom have the same surname (?).

In any event, congrats on the passport requests. Although not 100% yet, it sounds like your mom and brother will get the visas.

My brother and my mon have differrent surename. But I and my brother have the same surname.

You and your mother have committed fraud. Your brother is not her child and therefore not her dependent, so she lied to include him in the application.

How would he even be on the application without a birth certificate actually confirming that he is the dependent child of your mother? They don't just assume because they see his name on the 'household' registration that he is hers. Presumably your mother indicated that she is now divorced from your brothers father, and if that is the case, CIC will clearly know that he is not dependent to your mother, unless she included documentation stating otherwise.

If she did that, then you have a lot more issues to deal with other than can your brother arrive with your mother.

I suspect your mother won't be arriving at all and if by some miracle you both pull this off she'll need to watch her 'back' for the rest of her days in Canada as she will be subject, at any time, to removal if found out as well as your brother.

Misrepresentation and Immigration fraud are very serious subjects. Exclusion orders can vary in length from a year up to lifetime. Are you willing to risk having your mother permanently banned from EVER entering Canada as a visitor or PR?

I would make sure the application is in good order and no information is included nor omitted that could be harmful if it were my mother.
