[BLT123]

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but for anyone with dependents between 19 and 22 this could affect you. Get you application in before Aug 1

Please note, that's UNDER 22 to UNDER 19.

Even the owner of this forum is apparently confused about this. http://www.cicnews.com/2014/07/rules-dependent-children-force-073549.html

As a result of recent regulatory amendments, starting 1 August 2014 the Canadian government will redefine who can immigrate to Canada as a ‘dependent child’. From that date onward, the definition of dependent children will be narrowed to individuals 19 years of age or younger. Currently, the age cutoff for dependent children is 21 years of age.
This change has major ramifications for individuals applying for Canadian immigration with their families.

Does that mean that children of sponsers who are 19 years or older will also be EXCLUDED while calculating size of family when PVP program reopens in Jan 2015?

Yes.
