As a primary applicant who all I can include in a Canada Immigration Application?

You can include your Spouse/Conjugal Partner/Common-law partner and dependent children can be included in your immigration application. The dependent children included in application need to be under 19 years. In case they are above 19, then must be fulltime students. Their education must not have interrupted since 19 years of age.

However, the dependent’s eligibility for Canada immigration is also subject to their health and character certifications.
