Ok are my boys classed as my dependant children because I am there mother only, my children do not live with me they live with there father so they are not financially dependant on me their father pays for everything, so does that mean maybe in my sponsorship forms I don't need to list them as they are not dependant on me?

They are dependent children if they are under the age of 22 but if they are not immigrating with you, you can list them as non-accompanying dependents.

Thanks Leon,
could you also tell me then, regarding medicals my eldest is 19 is in a defacto relationship with a child do I still include her, and regarding medicals even though my children are never coming to canada because their father wont let them do they still need to do medicals, because when I rang the doctors office that is listed in australia from the immigration site they told me to bring in photos and the childrens passports? my children do not have passports and I refuse to fork out money for passport they will never use, please help Im so stuck and confused

A 19 year old who is in a relationship with a child probably does not qualify as a dependent child anymore so I would say no.

thanks leon you are very helpful,

so I only include my 11 yo and 5 yo on my sponsorship forms is that correct?, and what do I do regarding there medicals ( refer to previous post ) as they will not ever be coming to canada and they do not possess passports?

If you can get them medicals, do it. As for passports, if they don't have any, write a cover letter explaining that they don't have any. As for photo's, I am sure you can get their photos taken.
