I applied my parents sponsorship case in 2011 and I am wondering if we can add brother to the parents sponsorship application if he is above 22 years of age ( law changed to 19 years starting Aug 2014) and married but has a mental condition and depends on parents.

I read on CIC website that this is known as type C dependent and they have not stated whether he/she can be married or not in addition to having mental condition.

Thank You for your reply soon.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.

You can find some additional details in the IRCC OP 2 Processing Members of the Family Class Operations Manual.

Here is an excerpt,

In such cases, officers must ask for documentary evidence of full time attendance at school, evidence of the institution's accreditation with the relevant authority, evidence of the physical or mental condition and evidence of financial dependency on parents.


You may want to contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Call Centre directly to see if they can provide you with any additional information regarding this type of application.

You may also want to look into contacting a reputable immigration consultant or an immigration lawyer who is familiar with Canadian immigration applications for some additional information.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
