eligible non accompanying dependants and age

[gabo000]

Hello everyone. We applied thru MANITOBA PROVINCIAL NOMINEE PROGRAM, i was then nominated by the province of Manitoba to become a permanent resident on June 2014, included there are my dependents and my spouse..... the age of the new definition for dependents takes effect on august 1 2014 from under 22 to under 19. By that time, my application for permanent residence was received by cic on September 2014. It says in the website that there were transitional measures applies in the age of dependents. My question is that when i passed my application with cic, i listed my dependants as NON- ACCOMPANYING for the reason that I need to settle first in Manitoba and after a year, i will get them. my child is 17yrs old that time.

The problem is i now sponsored them, then my child is already 19 yrs old.he just turned 19y/o eight days after I passed the sponsorship application last September 2016. is he still eligible and if my sponsorship application for my dependents is still connected my last application into provincial nominee program? I really miss them. thankyou

This new application is independent of your application. The dependant age lock in is not carried over.

hello, you mean that the age locked in is not effective to their new application? but my son is still dependent to us because he had no work at all and were the one who sends him to school, give his medications and he lives with us. do you think that these reasons i must give to the office so tha they can consider him to be our dependent child?
thankyou

That is correct. A new application will not benefit from the age lockin of the previous, now completed, application. You should have listed as accompanying in the original application. I don't believe that you have any further options, except possibly an H&C application. The alternative is to wait to see if the dependant child age limit is raised in the near future and then apply for sponsorship. I have no information on when or if this may occur.
