Guys I have a question


I called ircc today to ask about my brother who is not considered my immediate faimly but is my father's depandant.



The agent told me when your father's gonna land on oct 7 he is gonna hand over his copr to the immigration officer he is gonna become a pr at that same moment. After that when your brother is gonna give his copr he can be considered as your fathers dependent ( so dependent of a permanent resident)


I mean it really depends on the officer.
And also we still have one month things might change by then and international borders might open up by then.



What are your thoughts on this guys?

My concern is boarding flight from India, if it's through then there won't be any issue at Canada airport.

Dependant means the Pearson is depending on main applicant and should immigrate together. What if your brother would be not 19 but 9 year old? Would you leave him behind for 2 weeks? Sounds non sense to me. Your father is immediate family member to you and if he allows immigrate he brings dependants with him. Your MP was right

Ya You are right exactly my thought if he was a 7 year old he cant stay behind. But again they might say o so your parents could have waited till travel restrictions ease.
 
Hey you are right. Do you know how can I make sure they don't create problems. Shall I call them?
Hi, you can call the airline customer care and record your conversation. You can give the reference of your MP email. If you finalize to take the flight by your parents and brother, make sure they should carry a print out of the MP mail for reference. Hopefully there may be some favorable updates from 1st October as well. Let's hope everything moves smoothly. All the best for your parents and bro.

Go to Canada.ca and read the definition on dependant at the travel restrictions section. Under immediate fam member listed dependant child of a principal applicant! so your brother is absolutely can come with parents. Good luck!

Dependant: spouse, common-law partner or dependent child of a permanent resident or principal applicant.
Dependent child
A child who is under the maximum age and is not married or in a common law relationship. Generally, to qualify as dependants, children must
  • be under 22 years old
  • not have a spouse or common-law partner
Note: a child’s age is usually “locked in” when we get a complete application.
Use our online tool to check if your child qualifies as a dependant.
Exception: Children who are at the age limit or older can qualify as “over-age” dependants if they
  • have depended on their parents for financial support since before they reached the age limit and
  • can’t financially support themselves due to a mental or physical condition
Previous age limits:
The age limit has changed in recent years. If your application has been in process for a while, one of the older definitions of dependent child may apply. Generally, we use the rules in place when we get your complete application. Previous age limits for a dependent child:
  • From August 1, 2014 to October 23, 2017: under 19 years old
  • On or before July 31, 2014: under 22 years old
Note: The rules for over-age dependants are different for applications that were submitted on or before July 31, 2014.
