Wow, am I glad Mr. Google referred me to you guys! I've been wracking my brain about this section of the IMM0008 for while now. Unfortunately, I'm in a rather unique situation as to whether to include my son. Here's what I have:
- I am US citizen by birth
- Wife is Canadian citizen by birth
- Son was born in the US on Sept. 11, 2017, but has official Canadian citizenship, thus making him a dual-citizen
- Wife and son moved to Canada on Sept. 30, 2022 and currently living there
- I'm still stuck living in the US until my PR finally comes and then I can finally complete the move and join them
So, do I add my son as a dependent, who's technically a Canadian citizen, but also technically born in the US (and thus also a citizen)?
And for that matter, I do not list my Canadian wife as a dependent, correct?

I’ve this case of son who’s Canadian
I’ve emailed SINP to make sure
They guided me to:
Include my dependent in the form
And in ( accompanying you to Canada) I tick (no) then write explanation that ( coz he is citizen and don’t need PR)
it is also good to attach to the form his birth certificate and passport as a proof with letter of explanation that he is accompanying me indeed but ticked no coz he ia citizen just to reconfirm to Officer the situation

Hi! I have a question. I hope I got a response. I am confused about what to put on my 1-year-old son's citizenship. My husband, his father is a Canadian. My 1-year-old son was born in the Philippines, What citizenship(s) should I put to his IMM0008 #8 Dependant Info? And since we are residing in the Philippines, should I put Philippines' citizen or foreign national? Or shouldn't I put him as dependant on IM0008? Because when I searched they said if one of the parent is Canadian automatically the baby born outside Canada will still be a Canadian citizen? That is why I am so confused right now. I do not know what to do. Please help me.
Hello, just want to verify. did you follow this step of NOT including a canadian born child in IMM 0008 and your application was approved? Thank you and will appreciate your response!

IMM008 dependents are those who is your family member but is not a Canadian PR or citizen so the answer is NO
but make sure to include them in IMM5406 (Family Information) as they’re your family members regardless of residency status

Hi,
Checking for a friend who added this in a group:
Preparing to submit a Spousal Sponsorship PR file.
• Father (Sponsor) is Canadian Citizen born in Edmonton
• Spouse- PA is in Jordan- applying for her spousal sponsorship
• Child born last month in Jordan (As per descent he is eligible for Canadian Citizenship)
• Submitting child's citizenship certificate file and attaching proof of his submission to mother's spousal file
• QUESTION: DO we add the child as dependent in the IMM0008 form- as accompanying or NON- accompanying or NOT AT ALL_ as he has submitted citizenship certificate application

Technically you should NOT include in that form, but include letter of explanation that child is a citizen and hence cannot be an applicant for PR status. Include copies of basics documenting this (birth certificate with parentage, other ID of child), and refer to citizenship app already submitted (I'd include a copy of the actual app).
Child SHOULD of course be included in 'family members' form of applicant (spouse).
