They have depended on their parents for financial support since before
the age of 22, and
They are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental
or physical condition
If your child’s age was locked in on or before October 23, 2017, a previous
definition of dependent children may apply.
Important: If the person you are sponsoring (or their child) has one or
more children in the sole custody of their other parent, you must still
declare the child in the application. Even if there’s a written agreement or
court order to show that the sponsored person doesn’t have custody or
responsibility, you must list the child on the application and this child must
do a medical exam. Doing this gives the sponsored person the possibility to
sponsor their child as a member of the family class in the future, when
there may be changes to the custody or living arrangements. If a
permanent resident doesn’t declare all their family members on their
application, they could risk losing their permanent resident status.

The person you’re sponsoring has a child in the sole custody of a previous
spouse. Do they need to include this child in their application?
Yes. Children in the custody of a previous spouse or partner are considered
dependent children.
Doing this gives the sponsored person the possibility to sponsor their child
as a member of the family class in the future, when there may be changes
to the custody or living arrangements. Also, if a permanent resident
doesn’t declare all their family members on their application, they
could risk losing their permanent resident status.

Principal applicant
When a family applies for permanent residence together, one family
member must be the main or “principal” applicant. If the main purpose of
the application is to sponsor a spouse or partner for permanent residence
in Canada, the principal applicant is the spouse or partner. If the main
purpose of the application is to sponsor a dependent child for permanent
residence in Canada, the principal applicant is the dependent child.
However, when parents are included in an application, the dependent child
cannot be the principal applicant.
Family members
An applicant’s closest relatives, in the context of an application. It is defined
as a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their
dependent children.
See section 1(3) of the IRPR for the legal definition.
Spouse
Means either of the two people (opposite or same gender) in a marriage
that is legally recognized in the country where it took place, as well as in

Common-law partner
Means a person who has been living in a conjugal relationship with another
person (opposite or same gender), continuously for at least one year. A
conjugal relationship exists when there is a significant degree of
commitment between two people.
To show that you are in a common-law relationship, submit proof that you:
share the same home,
support each other financially and emotionally,
have children together, if applicable,
present yourselves in public as a couple.
See section 1(1) of the IRPR for the legal definition.
Conjugal partner
A conjugal partner is:
a person who is living outside Canada,
in a conjugal relationship with a sponsor for at least one year, and
could not live with the sponsor as a couple because of reasons beyond
their control (e.g. immigration barrier, religious reasons or sexual
orientation.
In most cases, the foreign partner is also not able to legally marry their
sponsor and qualify as a spouse. In all other respects, the couple is similar
to a common-law couple or a married couple, meaning they have been in a
bona fide (genuine or real) conjugal relationship for a period of at least one
year.
Dependent children
Means the children of the sponsor or principal applicant.
Your child or the child of your spouse or common-law partner can be
considered a dependent child if that child meets the requirements below
on the day we receive your complete application:
They’re under 22 years old, and
They don’t have a spouse or common-law partner
Children 22 years old or older qualify as dependants if they meet both of
these requirements:
They have depended on their parents for financial support since before
the age of 22, and
They are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental
or physical condition
Dependants must continue to meet these requirements until they enter
Canada.

Accompanying dependant
Any dependent child or dependant of a dependent child (grandchild) who
plans to immigrate to Canada with the principal applicant. They are
included on the application.
When sponsoring more than one child as a principal applicant, each child
must have its own application form. They are not considered to be
accompanying dependants of each other.
Non-accompanying dependant
Children who meet the definition of a dependent child but who are not
immigrating to Canada along with the principal applicant. They must be
listed on the principal applicant’s application for permanent residence and
must be examined in order to process the principal applicant and remain
eligible for sponsorship at a later date.
Family Class
This immigration category allows Canadian citizens and permanent
residents to sponsor certain members of their family to come to Canada as
permanent residents. See section 116 of the IRPR for the legal definition.
