Can I go to Canada as a dependent on my brother's basis after his car is done by December end?
No, you cannot move to Canada as a dependent on your brother status. Under Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada regulations, siblings are never recognized as eligible dependents. Canada strictly limits dependent status to a spouse, a common law partner, or dependent children under twenty two years old and unmarried.
Planning your journey to Canada after December requires understanding official immigration policies. Since your brother status cannot cover you, you will need to look at independent application pathways to make your move happen.
Eligible Versus Excluded Relatives
| Relation Type | Can Be a Dependent |
|---|---|
| Spouse or common law partner | Yes |
| Dependent children under 22 | Yes |
| Brothers and sisters | No |
| Parents and grandparents | No |
Independent Pathways to Canada
- Apply for a study permit by enrolling in a designated learning institution
- Secure a job offer with a valid Labour Market Impact Assessment for a work permit
- Apply for a standard temporary resident visitor visa if you only plan to visit temporarily
