My husband and I are taking the test next month. Our kids first language is English. Im assuming my daughter who is14 doesn't have to take the test but What about my son? He is 18 and next April will be 19. I just need to know to enroll him the same day I'm doing the test.


Thank you for all your help.

Exactly why are you taking the test? If your children are listed as your PR application dependants, there is no need for them to take a test.

There is no requirement for anyone except the principal applicant to take the test, but spousal scores can increase points. Your children will not affect the CRS scoring. If they want to be tested for their own interest, there is nothing to prevent that. If your son ceases to be a dependant because of age before you are invited to apply, then he would need to become a principal applicant in his own right.
