Age of children who apply to immigrate to Canada with their parents.

Recently, it was reported that the Federal Immigration Department officially relaxed the age for children to apply for immigration with their parents. Let's talk about the age at which Canadian children apply for immigration with their parents. Let's have a look.

Canadian child immigrants will be raised from the current age of 19 to 22, effective this Wednesday. Some lawyers pointed out that this means that families with older children will have the opportunity to get maple leaf cards together, which is good news for the Chinese community with a majority of immigrants.

From 201710124 October, the age of the accompanying children was relaxed to 22 years old. Children over the age of 22 who are heavily dependent on their parents for physical or mental health will also be considered as accompanying children.

The Immigration Bureau believes that a higher age limit will have more positive social and cultural significance in maintaining family unity.

Immigrants have the starting point of immigration, humanitarianism, or the Canadian economy, but only from the applicant's point of view, raising the age limit will indeed let a few families see hope.

Take the employer-sponsored immigrants in Saskatchewan as an example. Assuming a master's degree, applicants aged 45-50 have worked in Saskatchewan for more than 65,438+00 years, and their IELTS score is about 5. Such applicants meet the application requirements of this program and hope that the whole family can obtain permanent residence status in Canada by applying for this program. However, applicants in this age group are likely to have children over 19.

Family reunion has always been an important commitment of the Canadian government. To this end, the government has taken a series of important reform measures. Including, in the past, for immigrants who reunited through marriage, conditional permanent residence was cancelled, and most marriages were sincere. The visit plan of parents and grandparents also became more fair and transparent on 20 17.

In 20 16, the number of parents' reunited immigrants has also doubled, reaching 10000, and the trial time of most spouses' reunited immigrants will be shortened to 12 months.

According to the announcement of the Privy Council Office of Canada, in order to strengthen family reunion and enable Canadian citizens or permanent residents to bring adult children aged between 19 and 2 1 to Canada, Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) has been amended, stipulating that children under the age of 22 can apply for immigration with their parents as dependent children.

In addition, the transitional provisions also stipulate that if the application is filed on or before July 3, 20 14 and the application is still in progress, the children are still between 19 and 2 1 at the time of submission, and they can still apply for immigration with their parents.

From August 2004 1, 2065438, the age limit for accompanying children of the Immigration Department was changed to 19, replacing the previous 22 years. However, many young people in 19-2 1 do not meet the application conditions for economic migration, forcing them to be separated from their families. The relaxation of the age definition by the Federal Immigration Department will enable many college students to immigrate to Canada with them.
