In the case of an adult adoption, paragraph R117(4)(b) requires that a genuine parent-child relationship have existed at the time of the adoption and existed before the child reached the age of 18.
Adoption — over 18
(4) A foreign national who is the adopted child of a sponsor and whose adoption took place when the child was 18 years of age or older shall not be considered a member of the family class by virtue of that adoption unless it took place under the following circumstances:
(a) the adoption was in accordance with the laws of the place where the adoption took place and, if the sponsor resided in Canada at the time of the adoption, the adoption was in accordance with the laws of the province where the sponsor then resided, if any, that applied in respect of the adoption of a child 18 years of age or older;
(b) a genuine parent-child relationship existed at the time of the adoption and existed before the child reached the age of 18; and
(c) the adoption was not entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act
