Does anyone know if IMM5646 is required for dependent minors. I am applying online and did not get this form as required or listed. But in the application form it said it is required for all minors.

Please advise.

It is very strange that it not on the Checklist.
But you have an option something like "additional documents" (? I sorry do not remember precisely). So fill the IMM5646 in, sign and attach.

Minor children who are less than 17 years of age and come to Canada to study without a parent or legal guardian must be cared for by a responsible adult in Canada. This person is known as a custodian. A notarized custodianship declaration, such as the form Custodianship Declaration – Custodian for Minors Studying in Canada (IMM 5646) (PDF, 1 MB), must be completed by the parents or legal guardians in the country of origin and by the custodian in Canada.


From your previous posts, you are coming as a student and your children are accompanying you, so IMM5646 is not required.

Yes, true, this is why I was confused. It states in the form that someone in Canada will take care of them, and for me it will be me and not someone else. I submitted my application without the form.

Then there MUST be a proof that there is no father OR a court decision about sole custody.

mawcanada, do not look at the form.
The form IS very specific but you have to provide VO with a consent of kid's father to go with you to Canada OR court proof (or some legal proof) that you are a sole custodian and there is no father in the picture.
