Could someone PLS explain this question to me ???? !!!!

Looking at the IMM0008 form under Dependants It says:

"You must list all family members in your application for permanent residence, whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not. You must also provide details on family members whose location is unknown (including those missing or presumed dead). If you don't, you will not be able to sponsor family members at a later date if they are not listed on your application."  NOTE THAT IT DOESNT MENTION THE AGE I.E. UNDER 22 OR OVER. 

THEN UNDER:  Schedule A – Background/Declaration (IMM 5669)  IT SAYS:

"Form must be completed by:  you, the principal applicant; your spouse or common-law partner (whether accompanying you to Canada or not), AND your dependent children aged 18 or over (whether accompanying you to Canada or not). "

So on the IMM0008 we shouldnt put down anyone that is over 18 or what?  pls if someone knows about this send me a note. !

No, put down all family members such as parents, siblings, children even if they are over 18. That way if you ever want to sponsor your parents you will have that option. Also, if you were to sponsor your parents and one of your siblings was a dependent child still they would be on that application as well. Better safe than sorry. I personally put down my parents and two brothers, even though my two brothers wouldn't qualify for sponsorship as the rules are currently written.

IMM008 - Family members here means children, stepchildren, adopted children (if this is a spousal application).

IMM5669 - Family here means your spouse, your children (see above), your siblings (brothers, sisters, stepbrothers/sisters) and parents.

how sure are you?  I am getting different answers !

Its my parents in law who are in Fiji and my husband here in Canada is sponsoring them.  All this bro's and sis's are over 22. 

[Farzana Firoz]

So, when they say "Dependant children aged 18 or over", does that even mean a 42-year-old who has a great job and settled & does NOT depend on the parents?  Again, this is for my father in law in Fiji who my husband from Canada is sponsoring. 

So, for the IMM 0008 form, only children and NOT someone this age ??

[CharlieD10]

You just answered your own question.  Obviously a 42 year old with a great job is NOT a dependent.

To qualify as a dependent while still over 22, a "child" must be in full-time studies and still financially dependent substantially on his parents.  Don't include these siblings of your brother on your in-laws' IMM008, they go on the IMM5669.  If your in-laws are not supporting any of their children who are over 22 because they are in full-time studies, and none of them are under 22, then they have NO dependents, so they don't go on the IMM008.  Simple.

Thanks so much.  I always overthink things and confuse myself.  I guess I am just so nervous I am gonna screw up something on the form.
