Hello. Goodmorning. I'm Chailin, from Philippines. I just want to ask something. Because my mother keeps on telling me that I can't be included in her sponsorship as dependent child because of I'm pregnant. That's why she told me that it's so sad for me that I can't go with her. My question is can I still be included as dependent child in her sponsorship even though I'm turning 2month pregnant? ? Btw I'm already 21 and unmarried.

She is wrong. If you are 21 or below, unmarried and not in a common-law partnership, she can include you as her dependent, pregnant or not.
Since you are from the Philippines, can we clarify if you are in a "live-in" relationship with the father of your child? If you are, have you been living together for a year or more? If you have, then your mother is correct, not because of your pregnancy but because of your live-in relationship which equals to common-law in Canada. Again, being "single" technically does not make you single in Canadian law. This is a common misconception/excuse given and IRCC knows it.
If the above is unrelated to you, being pregnant should not stop your mother from sponsoring you.
No,I'm not in a live in relationship. We don't even been living for a year nor months.
Yes she lives here in the Philippines together with us..but that's why she had that kind of visa is because her husband is a Canadian.
But is there any chance that can I be included in her dependents? What if she didn't put me in her dependents? Is there any possible that it might change and include me? ?
Can even the embassy will also get noticed about what she did for not including me on her dependents? ?
I also got no idea why she did that. For what I know maybe because she doesn't want me to go there together with her, or maybe it will take her to a long procedure if she includes me or maybe her husband doesn't like me to go there.
