            The Impact of the Amended Definition, Transitional Provisions and Lock-in Procedures on Specific Permanent Resident Programs


            Last Updated on diciembre 29, 2016

            Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) would typically receive applications where a transitional provision is applicable. In these cases, the dependent children would need to meet the pre-amendment definition of a dependent child. They must meet the demands of the definition at the time Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the principal applicant’s Application for Permanent Residence (APR). Only then would Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers consider the child eligible for processing as a dependent child.

            • For Applicants Selected by a Province or a Territory Under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
            • Provincial nominees would need to first apply to the province or territory for nomination
            • Once they receive the approval, they would need to apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence
            • However, they can only do this before their nomination expires
            • Under Transitional Provisions:
              • A Province or Territory will typically receive complete applications for nomination before August 01, 2014
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to assess the children of applicants listed in these applications using the pre-amendment definition of a dependent child
              • This is regardless of the fact that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) could have received their complete Application for Permanent Residence (APR) on or after August 01, 2014
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to apply pre-amendment lock-in procedures on the date the CIC receives the Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
              • This would mean that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would lock in the age of the dependent child on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
            • Other Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs) not Covered by Transitional Provisions
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to apply the new definition of a dependent child
            • The New Lock-in Date
              • An applicable province or territory authority will typically receive a complete application for provincial nomination from the principal applicant
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of a child of an applicant under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) on the date on which the applicable province or territory authority received the complete application for provincial nomination from the principal applicant

            • For Applicants Selected by the Province of Quebec under the Quebec Economic Immigration Programs

              • The Province of Quebec will receive complete applications for nomination before August 01, 2014

              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to apply the pre-amendment lock-in procedures on the date the Province of Quebec receives the complete application for a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) from the principal applicant
              • This would mean that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of the dependent child on the date the Province of Quebec receives the complete application for a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) from the principal applicant

              • In this scenario, the Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ) will explicitly need to state that the person is in a particularly distressful situation
            • Once these foreign nationals receive the Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ), they would need to apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for obtaining permanent residence
            • Under Transitional Provisions:
              • The Province of Quebec will receive complete applications for selection due to a distressful situation before August 01, 2014

              • This would mean that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of the dependent child on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
            • Other Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs) not Covered by Transitional Provisions
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to apply the new definition of a dependent child
            • The New Lock-in Date
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the Canada Border Services Agency CBSA) will receive the refugee claim from the applicant
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the CBSA officers would need to lock in the age of a child of an in-Canada refugee claimant on the date on which they receive the refugee claim from the principal applicant
              • This is in accordance with the provisions specified in R25.1 (9)
            • For Persons whose Circumstances the Authorities Were Examining under Public Policy Considerations [A25.2] before August 01, 2014 and who made an Application for Permanent Residence (APR) after August 01, 2014
            • This aspect emerges from Section 25.2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA)
            • This section declares that the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration has the authority to institute a public policy that allows foreign nationals who are otherwise inadmissible or unable to meet requirements to become permanent residents
            • For example, some people might be in refugee-like situations, yet they might be ineligible for submitting a refugee claim or for applying for resettlement
            • Under Transitional Provisions:
              • These are applicable for people whose circumstances the authorities were examining under public policy considerations [A25.2] before August 01, 2014 and who made an Application for Permanent Residence (APR) after August 01, 2014
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to assess the children of applicants listed in these applications using the pre-amendment definition of a dependent child
              • This is regardless of the fact that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) could have received their complete Application for Permanent Residence (APR) on or after August 01, 2014
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to apply pre-amendment lock-in procedures on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
              • This would mean that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of the dependent child on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
            • Other Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs) not Covered by Transitional Provisions
              • Other applications made under a public policy would need to use the new definition of a dependent child
              • As such, the lock-in date for the age of a child will be the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) received the Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
              • This is applicable unless specified otherwise by the terms of the public policy
            • For Parents and Grandparents Cases where the Applicant Submitted Only a Sponsorship Application prior to November 05, 2011
            • The authorities would apply the pre-amendment definition of a dependent child to the following Parents and Grandparents (PGP) applications:
              • Those cases where Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) received a sponsorship application prior to November 05, 2011
              • Those cases that came under the cap imposed by the authorities in January 2014 and,
              • Those cases that came under the Temporary Public Policy to Accept for Processing Certain Family Class Sponsorship Applications for Parents and Grandparents [R25.2 (1)]
            • The authorities have mandated that applicants would need to submit all applications for sponsoring Parents and Grandparents (PGPs) along with the Application for Permanent Residence (APR)
            • This has been in effect from July 11, 2011
            • Prior to July 11, 2011, applicants needed to submit two applications, namely:
              • The Sponsorship application and,
              • The permanent resident application, which applicants could submit separately (at a later date)
            • On November 05, 2011, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) suspended the intake of family class applications under the Parents and Grandparents (PGP) category
            • They took this step to boost the efficiency measures of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC’s) Action Plan for Faster Family Reunification (details given in OB 353)
            • The implementation of these measures resulted in an inventory of Parents and Grandparents (PGP) sponsorship applications, which had no accompanying Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs)
            • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be soliciting the submission of permanent resident applications from these applicants, as and when these cases come for processing
            • Under Transitional Provisions:
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will receive complete sponsorship applications under the Parents and Grandparents (PGP) category before August 01, 2014
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to assess the children of applicants listed in these applications using the pre-amendment definition of a dependent child
              • This is regardless of the fact that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) could have received their complete Application for Permanent Residence (APR) on or after August 01, 2014
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to apply pre-amendment lock-in procedures on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the sponsorship application
              • This would mean that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of the dependent child on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the sponsorship application
            • Other Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs) not Covered by Transitional Provisions
              • All other Parents and Grandparents (PGP) sponsorship applications received on or after August 01, 2014 would need to use the new definition of a dependent child
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of a child of an applicant on the date on which they receive the complete sponsorship application and the Application for Permanent Residence (APR)
            • For Privately Sponsored Refugees for whom the Authorities Received a Sponsorship Application prior to October 19, 2012
            • On October 19, 2012, certain regulatory changes to Canada’s Refugee Resettlement Program came into force (details included in OB 356)
            • These regulatory changes stated that applicants needed to submit a permanent resident application along with a group sponsorship undertaking to the Centralised Processing Office in Winnipeg
            • Prior to October 19, 2012, applicants needed to submit two applications, namely:
              • The Sponsorship application and,
              • The permanent resident application, which the principal refugee applicants could submit separately (at a later date)
            • Dependent children of refugees abroad, whose names find mention in the principal applicant’s Application for Permanent Residence (APR) can apply for a permanent resident visa
            • They could do this if:
              • Their names are included in the principal applicant’s Application for Permanent Residence (APR):
                • At the time of initial application or,
                • Added at some stage before the principal applicant departs for Canada AND,
              • They meet all applicable requirements for eligibility
            • They would need to apply for a permanent resident visa if they apply to the visa office within one year from the day the principal applicant becomes a permanent resident as a protected person
            • This is the “One-Year Window” provision, specified by R141 (1) (b)
            • The lock-in date for the age of an overseas child of an applicant is the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives a complete Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant accepted as a refugee abroad
            • This pertain to overseas children of an applicant, who:
              • Are refugees abroad but,
              • Do not accompany the applicant to Canada
            • This is in accordance with the provisions specified in R25.1 (8)
            • On or after August 01, 2014, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers will process children of the age of 19 years or over, who do not otherwise qualify for processing under the pre-amendment definition of a dependent child as de facto dependents as long as the children meet all the requirements
            • Under Transitional Provisions:
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will receive complete sponsorship applications from privately sponsored refugees before October 12, 2012
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to assess the children of applicants listed in these applications using the pre-amendment definition of a dependent child
              • This is regardless of the fact that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) could have received their complete Application for Permanent Residence (APR) on or after August 01, 2014
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to apply pre-amendment lock-in procedures on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the sponsorship application
              • This would mean that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of the dependent child on the date on which Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) receives the Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
            • Other Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs) not Covered by Transitional Provisions
              • Except in cases where the above-mentioned guidelines apply, officers would need to apply the pre-amendment definition to children of all privately sponsored refugees for whom they received the Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs) prior to August 01, 2014
              • Similarly, officers would need to apply the new definition to children of all privately sponsored refugees for whom they received the Applications for Permanent Residence (APRs) on or after August 01, 2014
            • The New Lock-in Date
              • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers would need to lock in the age of a child of an applicant who is a privately sponsored refugee, on the date on which they receive the complete Application for Permanent Residence (APR) from the principal applicant
              • This is in accordance with the provisions specified in R25.1 (4)
            • Permanent Resident Cards and Permanent Resident Travel Documents
            • An applicant who has spent some time abroad, would need to meet certain residency requirements
            • Only then would the applicant qualify for receiving:
              • A Permanent Resident Card (PRC) or,
              • A Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)
            • The regulatory amendments regarding the definition of a dependent child do not include any transitional provisions for the following lines of business:
              • A Permanent Resident Card (PRC) or,
              • A Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)
            • The authorities have amended subsection 61 (6) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) to reflect the new definition of a dependent child
            • The amended definition of a dependent child, effective August 01, 2014, mentioned in subsection 61 (6) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) states:
              • For the purposes of subparagraphs 28 (2) (a) (ii) and (iv) of the Act, a “child” means a child who is not a spouse or common-law partner and is less than 19 years of age
            • Under the pre-amendment definition, the authorities had specified that age of a child must be less than 22 years
            • Officers would need to determine whether the applicants meet the residency requirements for Permanent Resident Cards (PRCs) and Permanent Resident Travel Documents (PRTDs) applications received on or after August 01, 2014
            • Thus, these officers would need to assess each day based on the regulations that were in force on that specific day
            • For any period of time prior to August 01, 2014, the officers would need to assess the residency for a child under 22 years of age, who spends time accompanying an eligible parent abroad
            • For any period of time on or after August 01, 2014, the officers would need to assess the residency for a child under 19 years of age
            • Officers would not include any time spent accompanying a parent abroad on or after August 01, 2014 in the residency period for any child aged 19 years or above on August 01, 2014
