dependent children over 22..urgent

[khaira_143]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about this dependent child over 22 years old. If you could clarify me about this, I would really appreciate it.

I sponsored my parents and I submitted my application october 2008. At that time, my brother was under 22 aged so include them as dependents of parents.His date was locked in at that time by cic. Now, I received a letter from the immigration asking for additional documents.

In IMM008 form, asked what type of dependent is my brother. My other brother is now 25 years old, can I put Type A even he is not at present . I am so confused. please suggest me should i put Type A or B.

Please if someone could clarify and help me with this, please help!Thanks

This is from the Applicant Guide - My best guess is that the issue is explained in the note at the bottom. It's true that your brother is "locked in" as far as age, but they still want confirmation that he is not now married or involved in a common-law relationship. You will still designate him as Type A - he does not have to meet the other criteria for eligibility as an "over 22 yr old". His designation does not change from Type A - that's what's meant by "locked in". But they may be wanting to verify that he is still single. I don't know, considering you did not say what type of other information they're requesting.

Definitions of dependent child (types A, B and C)

Your child or the child of your spouse or common-law partner can be considered a dependent child if that child meets the requirements of types A, B or C below:

TYPE A

The child is under the age of 22 and is single (not married and not in a common-law relationship).

TYPE B
The child has been continuously enrolled in and in attendance as a full‑time student at a post‑secondary institution accredited by the relevant government authority and has depended substantially on the financial support of a parent either:

since before the age of 22, or
since marrying or entering into a common-law relationship (if it happened before the age of 22).

TYPE C
The child is 22 years of age or older, has depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22, and is unable to provide for himself or herself because of a medical condition.

Note: Dependent children must meet the above requirements on the day the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M) receives a complete application. Whether or not they have attained the age of 22, children falling under type A must not be married or be involved in a common-law relationship at the time of visa issuance and when they enter Canada.

HI!

Robsluv is 100 percent right. As this is rule and law, so what it says it is right. So lock in age rule is if application submitted before 22 years of age, that is 100 percent perfect still if the dependant child turns to even 32 if process is going he /she will be 22 or whatever age on the date application got submitted for his immigration case but cannot marry to maintain this dependant status. Studying clause is for those whose application gets submitted after 22 years of age.

Type A is applicable in your case kyzel29

Hi,

That’s so important for me to find the answer, previously thankful for helping.
What is the exact definition of a dependent child who is eligible to be sponsored? The definition of immigration site for children over 22 is not clear.
I worked for a few years after 22, but always supported by family for housing. I’ve been unable to work for some time due to mental condition and mom supports me. Am I eligible to be sponsored by her? Mother & two brothers are in Canada & father is deceased.


Thanks in advance
