Hello !! ;D
I am a seperated mother with 2 children ( 24 and 23 years old ) and they depend on me financially because we were forced to leave our country due to the war .
I am applying to community sponsor asylum
1-in the IMM0008 i am really confused with the question( how many family members including you in this application )
Should i write 3 ? because my children depend on me but they have no mentally or phisycally condition ????

2- Are they ( my children ) considered as a de facto dependents ?!

Thank you

Unluckily I just read on CIC that has been changed :

Notice – Changes to the definition of a dependent child
June 23, 2014 — Effective August 1, 2014, the definition of a dependent child is changing for Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC’s) immigration programs.

The age at which a child will be considered a dependant is being reduced, from under 22 to under 19.

The exception for full-time students is also being removed. Children of applicants who are 19 or over but are financially dependent on their parents and are enrolled in full-time studies will no longer be eligible to be processed as dependent children.
