Hi Everyone,
I have a cousin who has just gotten an ITA under the express entry program. She is now very concerned whether her daughter's inadmissibility will affect her application.
She is divorced and her daughter is 23 years old which does not qualify as a dependent but she is her child. I will appreciate your advise.

It says "inadmissible family member". Since her daughter isn't a part of her application, she won't be impacted.

IIRC, it was "Section 42 of IRPA" focuses on accompanying family members, her daughter isn't accompanying.
So guys,
I tried to advice her to go ahead with the application but she wants further assurance and I must admit, I was also not confident with my advise. I had no answer for her when she drew my attention to this:

If she wants further assurance then don't rely on a volunteer forum. Have her contact and get advice from an immigration lawyer.

She should hire an immigration lawyer in that case.
 
But Section 42 of IRPA focuses on both accompanying and non-accompanying family member. Please check

Read what "non-accompanying" member's focus is in that doc. I also don't know the nature of what's inadmissible with her daughter either. If the nature of that is as big as national security, you need a lawyer for sure. Rest of her questions are the same that can be cleared from a "non-accompanying" focus.
