Dependent Child new definition for Protected person:

[Inaki]

Would anyone provide the interpretation for the following parragraph extracted from Operational Bulletin 588 – August 1, 2014 (Modified)

Does it mean the new definition of dependent child is not applicable for children of persons with protected status in Canada and the applications to sponsor dependent children are to be assessed using the pre-ammendment definition?


Please advise.

Thanks,


3.1.7 Protected persons (in-Canada refugee claimants)
Foreign nationals submitting refugee claims inside Canada have similar experiences and face similar challenges reuniting with their children as refugees abroad.
•Under transitional provisions, children of applicants who made an in-Canada refugee claim prior to August 1, 2014, and who acquired protected person status either before or after that date are to be assessed by CIC using the pre-amendment definition of dependent child. This applies even if their complete APR is received by CIC on or after August 1, 2014. Pre-amendment lock-in procedures are to be applied—i.e., the age of the child is locked in on the date on which CIC receives the APR from the principal applicant.

1. No, It means that if the claim was made before August/01 even if the PR application was received after that the date, then children had to be under 22 or if over 22 in full time attendance at school. Claims made after August 1st, 14 the child must be under 19 to be included in the Application.
