Questions regarding the dependent residency

[nathanns]

Hi. My family landed in Canada as PR three years ago. My spose and child stayed in Canada for only one week and left to home country.

I stayed in Canada and never left. Now I am eligible for citizenship by meeting the 1095 days requirement.

My question would be, if I apply for citizenship, can i apply for my child (under age kid) using the 5(1) section as well?

Many thanks

The kid application would be under 5(2) not 5(1) here : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...hip/adult-minor/who/minor-types.html#minor5-2

And yes, as long as you're eligible yourself, you can add your PR kid to the application even if they don't live in the country.
