Changes to Regulations for Dependent Child Age

On October 24, 2017 the new age limit of “under 22” dependent child will come into effect, raising it from the current “under 19” requirement. The new increased age will apply to new applications for all immigration programs under Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), including for refugees. As per IRCC children who are 22 years of age or older and who rely on their parents due to a physical or mental health condition will continue to be considered dependent children.
