Hi all,

I'm filling out my IMM0008 form and have become confused on the dependents section.

I don't have any children so I presumed I do not have any dependents, and my wife is a Canadian citizen so I don't have to put her down as a dependent.

However... I then read this from the IMM0008 guide in the dependents section.

"You must list all family members in your application for permanent residence, whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not. You must also provide details on family members whose location is unknown (including those missing or presumed dead). If you don't, you will not be able to sponsor family members at a later date if they are not listed on your application."

So my question is, do I put my brother, mother and father down as dependents in the dependents section as they are family members of whom I would like to sponsor to come to Canada in the future?

Cheers,

Ste

No, only yourself on that form if you have no children under the age of 19. Family members are listed on a different form in the application package.
