When completing pretty much any immigration application, you will be asked questions about any possible dependents you might have.
In case of any uncertainty, below is what qualifies as a dependent for the purposes of any immigration application:
There are also other kinds of dependents, like a de facto dependant.
A de facto dependant is a person considered by the refugee family to be an integral member of the family unit but who does not meet CIC’s definition of a family member. For example, an elderly aunt who has always lived with the principal applicant may be a de facto dependant. Such individuals should be included in the sponsorship.
To be considered as a member of the family unit, such individuals must satisfy the visa officer that they are dependent on the family unit in which membership is claimed. The dependency may be emotional or economic and will often be a combination of the two. Such people would normally, but not exclusively, live with the principal applicant as members of the same household.
