A child with a health-related inadmissibility can become an obstacle to the principal applicant’s immigration: if the child is listed on the application as not accompanying, when applying for a temporary status the ban applies only to the child. When applying for permanent residence for the child, the child must be listed on the application, and then, in the case described, the parent’s application is deemed inadmissible due to the earlier ban issued to the child.
Why AI does not replace a specialist
The material describes a case in which a student from Côte d’Ivoire received an answer from an AI service that was only partly correct. The conclusion from this case: questions of this kind require a specialist who can distinguish an accurate answer from a plausible one. A tool can make mistakes, and it is always important to verify its answers.
Section 42: family inadmissibility
This concerns so-called family inadmissibility under section 42. If the child has received permanent status, that is, is a resident, all family members are deemed inadmissible for entry. There is no dispute about this.
If, however, we are talking about a temporary procedure, for example the child’s arrival to study, the ban applies only to the child themselves.
When the parent’s application becomes inadmissible
When applying for permanent residence for the child, the child cannot be left off. If the child is inadmissible for entry, the parent’s application will be deemed inadmissible. The parent is not refused in their own right, since the child’s ban has already been issued, but the application will not be processed, because the child’s ban was received earlier within the temporary residence procedure.
