Planning to migrate
to Canada after January 1 and with children above 19 years, then they
need to make separate applications. At present children under 22 are considered
as the dependent children and they will automatically get qualify to migrate
with parents, if the application of the parents’ for permanent residency is
granted.
Under the new scheme,
children who past their 19th birthday have to apply with a separate
application, by opening a fresh immigration application file along with
permanent residency being issued or denied by checking the merits of the
application. With work and education experience being a major aspect in the
points test for giving permission to emigrate, new rule will make it nearly
impossible for new applications to be permitted at last till the third-level
education and employment experience build up the required points.
“These rule changes are
going to make it a lot harder for parents who have older children to move
here,” Dev Patel, an immigration consultant and paralegal
based in Mississauga, Ontario, told Gulf News. “This rule change was announced
about a month ago and I am already seeing a spike in files and people wanting
to come to Canada are worried. I think that it’s important to spread the news
that if you plan to move to Canada, the earlier the better. I know that Dubai
and the UAE is often used as a stepping stone for many people from the
sub-continent who want to come to Canada. I have several files on my desk right
now and two families in Dubai will have to make separate files for their older
children if they don’t follow through on the current paperwork.”
“The earlier in life
immigrants arrive, the more their educational experience will resemble that of
their Canadian-born counterparts and the easier it will be to learn an official
language and adapt to Canadian cultural traits and social norms,” a says.
