Child Dependent Visa — FAQs
What age qualifies as a dependent child for Canada?
Canada defines a dependent child as under 22 years and not married or in a common-law relationship. Children 22+ may qualify if they have depended financially on the parent since before age 22 due to a physical or mental condition.
Do I need consent from the other parent?
Yes, in most cases. If only one parent is sponsoring or travelling, you typically need a notarised consent letter from the non-accompanying parent, plus custody court orders if parents are separated or divorced.
Can a child be included in a spouse visa application?
Yes. Most spouse/partner visa routes allow dependent children to be included in the same application — Canada spousal sponsorship, UK spouse visa, Australia partner visa and USA CR1 all support dependent children.
Does my child need a medical exam for immigration?
Most countries require an immigration medical examination for dependent children. Age thresholds vary — some require medicals for all ages, others only for children over a certain age.
Can a child in UAE join a parent who is a Canadian PR?
Yes. A Canadian PR or citizen can sponsor their dependent child for permanent residence via IRCC. The child can apply from UAE as an outland applicant.
