Question about additional dependents

Hi,
I am a Canadian citizen living in the UK. I am sponsoring my common law partner. We have filled out the additional family information form with details of Greg's family. We have a daughter together and have applied for her Canadian Citizenship Certificate. Do we have to include her on the additional family information and the additional dependents form? Greg has three boys who will not be moving to Canada at this time. Is there a specific form for this other than the generic application form and additional family information form? Am I right in thinking that they should not be on the additional dependents form if they're not moving with us. Greg has 4 dependents: our daughter and his 3 boys.

Thanks

Caitlyn

On the main IMM0008, do not include the Canadian citizen. (I beleive on the other forms, additional family, you do). You'll include a copy of her application for citizenship and a short note explaining.

On that form IMM0008 though, it is critical to include his other children as non-accompanying dependents. If they are not included now, he could never sponsor them in future. They will have to get the medicals (cost and a few hours of time). They may not be interested or have plans now but things could change.
