Will a dependent child be refused?

[Hasbrown_94]

We are applying for spousal sponsorship. Me and my sibling is under dependent child. My sibling is 22 years old now and our application was received when hes still 21 yrs old. Currently he missed 1 school semester while the process was ongoing will he be refused?

His application is not dependent upon his schooling or school semester. It could be refused for any number of reasons - the usual ones - but if everything is in order, shouldn't be a problem.

Have you received AOR on the app yet? Unfortuantely one thing that can and occasionally does happen is this: parents submit dependent child sponsorship just before 22nd birthday and make some minor mistake and the application is returned (not refused, but returned). At that point, if after the 22nd birthday, the child can no longer be sponsored.

I believe that if the AOR has been received, that scenario is over and the only reasons for refusal should be 'real' reasons (criminality and a few other things that are relatively rare).

We have received the aor and we are are already done with medical and biometrics. Our pre arrival letter was also received. The main thing that concern us is our schooling because we are afraid that we might be refused if we don’t enroll to school while we still don't have the final decision. Thanks for answering! Really appreciate it

Let's separate things: if being sponsored as dependent child, there's no condition that the individual must be studying.

Separate from that: if they had some need to confirm something, they could contact the school if you claimed the child was in school. That might be pretty rare but possible, I suppose (although I doubt it). (I'm guessing if they found out the child was not there, they might look into it, or might not. But again, so rare a case that not worth losing sleep over)

But perhaps I don't understand your question. It sounds like your concern is that the child must or should be enrolled in school, and repeat: there is no such requirement.

To boil this down: highly likely the school thing is a red herring you are worry9ing about for no reason. Main thing is you are past the AOR stage, rest may take time but most likely fine.

There is no requirement for dependent to stay in school. The age is the only requirement.
Many years ago, the age limit was below 19 and for dependents over 19, they need to show that they are full time students and still depends on their parent.
BUT that has been changed and as long as you are under 22, at application (and you both were and you've got AOR), you are accept as dependent.
The only other requirement is that you have to be single (i.e. not married and not in a common law relationship - living with a partner for 12 months or more continously) .

So whoever "they" say about immigration officers calls school to confirm don't know what they are saying. It's possible but it's not to confirm that you HAVE to go to school. They could but it's to confirm that the information filled in is correct.
... as long as you do not fill the form to mislead them that you are still going to school, you are fine.
Nothing wrong to not go to school BUT you need to be trueful with the information you provided. (if you are working, fine, include work history. if you are just waiting and not going to school or work, just put that in. There is nothing wrong except that if you lie in the application, it's misrepresentation and that's very bad)

You have AOR, if you want to update any of the forms, you can submit updated form with letter of explianation and send a web form with the application number.

Thank you so much for the time and explanation. It gave me clarity and peace of mind.

Thank you for your time and explanation. I now have an clarity on what is going on. Thanks
