Hello everyone! Just wanna ask your help. My mother is sponsoring me under the Live-in caregiver program. I'm confused what kind of dependant should I classify myself. My application was submitted last 2012 when I was 22, then my mother classified me as Type B Dependant which is
The child has been continuously enrolled in and in attendance as a full‑time student at a post‑secondary institution accredited by the relevant government authority and has depended substantially on the financial support of a parent either:
since before the age of 22, or since marrying or entering into a common-law relationship (if it happened before the age of 22).

After I graduated in college, I took 2 courses and 1 short course. I'm afraid I cannot take the certificate that stated that I was enrolled before in the institutions because I didn't finish it. Is it possible to switch in Type A Dependant which is The child is under the age of 22 and is single (not married and not in a common-law relationship). Because we submitted our application at the age of 22 and single.

Thank you for your answers ;)
 
If you were 22, then you were not under the age of 22. Therefore, only the existing Type B would be (possibly) valid.

You should also note that it states for Type B...

If you had a gap between courses, you may not qualify as a Type B. In fact, were you a student on the day that the application was submitted to CIC? If not, then you also may not qualify as Type B.
 
zardoz is right. If you were already 22 when your mother applied, you did not qualify as a Type A dependent. In order to keep your dependent status as Type B, you must continue to be a full time student and financially dependent on your parents until you get your PR.
 
I just talked to my mom and according to her my application was applied since May 26 2010, when I was 19. My mother classified me then at Type A Dependant. At the moment, I am already 24 years old and we are asked to provide additional documents. If I am going to fill out the form, how will I classify my type of dependant. Type A or Type B? Thank youuu. :)
 
I think that you need to give us all the details of your time line.
Exactly what was applied for, by whom, when and what was the result?
Is your mother a PR now?
 
If your mother applied for you when you were under 22 and as such, you were originally a Class A Dependent, then you continue to be one until you get your PR. That is unless you get married or enter into a common law partnership in which case you would lose your dependent status.
 
So you mean to say that I don't need to continue my studies? When my mom passed my application last May 2010, she classified me as Type A Dependent , On 2012 when the embassy asked for additional documents I chose Type B Dependent because we thought that I have to continue my studies because I were 22 then. Recently, they asked again for additional documents, what I shall write? Type A or Type B Dependant. I'm already 24 years old. thanks! :)
 
If your PR was applied for as a Type A Dependent, your age is locked in so to immigration, you should still be treated as an under 22 and actually don't have to continue your studies. However, I am not sure if it will have any affect that you yourself changed your designation to B.

For now, continue your studies but write Type A Dependent this time and see if they make any comment.

If your mother applied before you turned 22 and you are still waiting for processing of that same application, then you continue to be a Type A dependent and do not need to continue studying.

If you are a Type B dependent, that is you were 22 or older when your parents applied for PR and you were included based on being a full time student, you must continue to be enrolled as a full time student until you land as a PR. If you de-register and immigration finds out about it and they could still ask for proof of it, you may be removed from your parents application.

usually you can request your transcript from your college's registrar's office. official transcripts will sometimes be sealed in an envelope to prove it hasn't been tampered with.
