Lock in date for Pr

[Rezbatata]

Hello guys, hope everyone is good!

Something got me confused while checking the information of the Pr Application of a protected person as to the lock in date of your dependent children.

Here's the link :
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5205-applying-permanent-residence-within-canada-protected-persons-convention-refugees.html

Info from the link :
We assess your child’s eligibility as a dependant based on how old they were at a specific point in time, called the lock-in date. To see if your child qualifies as a dependant, we consider the age of your child on the lock-in date, even though your child’s age may change during processing.

To find out if your child qualifies as your dependant, check the age of your child at the time we or the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) received your refugee claim. This is your child’s lock-in date.

Your child or the child of your spouse or common-law partner can be considered a dependent child if that child meets the requirements below on the lock-in date:

• They are under 22 years old.
• They don’t have a spouse or common-law partner.

So here they are saying the lock in date of my children is the time when IRCC received my refugee claim.

So my question is : I have a child who is now 22 years old (and 3 months) and WHO WAS NOT INCLUDED in my refugee claim and that I wish to include in my PR application (i am a protected person)

Is it possible to include him as a dependent child since at the time I applied my refugee claim he was 20 years old?

or since now he is 22 years old he cannot be included? ( if so how do you explain the above info that is on the IRCC page)


Thank you so much for your help and i hope u will give me some hope in your answers

It’s clear your child was not included in your claim when he was 20 which would have been considered as lock-in date if you included him. Now that he has turned 22 it’s impossible for him to qualify.

Is your child in Canada?

Is your child in Canada?

No

 

[Simba112]

No

I guess the answer is no. but speak with Immigration lawyer and or Consultant. see below notes

In-Canada refugee claimants who have acquired protected person status

Age lock-in date	Where to find this information
Date IRCC or the Canada Border Services Agency receives the refugee claim from the principal applicant, for applications received on or after August 1, 2014	GCMS: Claim received date (“Rec’d Date”)
Note: Although the age is locked in at the time of the refugee claim, the applicable definition of “dependent child” is the one that is in effect at the time IRCC receives the complete application for permanent residence from the principal applicant. For example, in the following case, the child qualifies as a dependent child: A permanent residence application is received on July 7, 2019 (the applicable definition is “under 22 years of age”). A child included in the application is 24 years old when the application is received. On the day the refugee claim was made, the child was 21 years old.
Date IRCC receives a complete application for permanent residence from the principal applicant, for applications received before August 1, 2014	GCMS: Date permanent residence application received

The third example kinda applies to me but there s one technicality, they did not mention if the child needs to be in the refugee application or not.
And on the site they said the date they received the refugee application of THE PRINCIPAL applicant which is me (so if the age lock applies to all my children independently if they were included in my refugee application or not, my child should be eligible to be included in the PR application since he was 20 years old at the time of my application)

Speak with a good immigration lawyer.
