You don't have to continue in school full time to continue to be included as a dependent in your parents' application. You just can't get married and can't enter into a common law living arrangement with someone.

You are a Type A dependent. Type A dependent has nothing to do with being in school. Whether you're in school or not doesn't matter at all.

As Scylla said, you just can get married or become common-law.

No you are completely wrong. That is only for Type B dependents.

The definition of a dependent child is changing for Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC’s) immigration programs.

The age at which a child will be considered a dependent is being reduced, from under 22 to under 19.

The exception for full-time students is also being removed. Children of applicants who are 19 or over but are financially dependent on their parents and are enrolled in full-time studies will no longer be eligible to be processed as dependent children.

In all cases, a child will continue to be considered a dependant, regardless of age, if they have depended on their parents for financial support because of a mental or physical condition.

That only affects NEW applicants. Has nothing to do with people who's apps are already in progress.
