Sponsoring 20 year old daughter

[Windmill]

We live already a few years in Canada. Recently we got approved for our permanent resident. We used the express entry program. Our son is 16 so he's on our application. Our daughter is 20 and studying in Canada at the University. Children over 19 years old can't apply with their parents.She has a study permit. Can we sponsor her to become a permanent resident as well?

Under the current immigration regulations, she is too old to be a dependant, so you cannot now sponsor her if she was declared as non-accompanying in your PR application. The same applies if she was too old to be included in your application when you submitted it. The limit on age is UNDER 19, so a 19 years old child would not be eligible.

We will provide more opportunities for applicants who have Canadian siblings by giving additional points under the Express Entry system, and we will restore the maximum age for dependents to 22 from 19, to allow more Canadians to bring their children to Canada.


Stay tuned.

If she wasn't eligible for inclusion in the parents application and not medically examined, IRPR 117(9)(d) would be in effect.

Ah. Thanks for the info.

Ah. Thanks for the info.

Unless they intend to abandon that item of legislation as well....

She was not included in our application since she was to old, so no medical either. It's kind of crazy that you move as a family and your daughter has to return and leave her parents and siblings behind. In 3 years she will have finished her university as a civil engineer which gives her enough points to apply on her own.

I wish your family the best and it's sad to see that your daughter Will not be with her family in Canada ( she's still young and needs her mom ). your daughter is already here and studying, hopefully something good will come out of her studies and she can get PR.... Tell you daughter don't give up maybe she can apply through skills on her own.

I cant even imagine moving to other country and leaving my children.

Sorry I wasn't able to assist you but I'm sure someone else can.

Thank you all for your kind replies. She's doing well in University so there's no reason she will loose her study permit. Friends of her are already joking to find her a Canadian husband She probably has to wait another 3 years before she can apply unless the rules will change under the new government.

that we can make it.
