Do my parents count as my dependents?

[stole2008]

The generic application form asks to input all dependent information even if they are not accompanying me to Canada. Do my parents count as my dependents? I might apply for permanent residency for my parents later on. Thanks.

No they do not. Just your spouse and kids if you have any.
