It is a misconception that the age limit for Canadian Immigration is from 18 to 49, years old.
There are instances where a person who is more than 49 may still qualify!
To explain how, let me explain once again the Six Selection Factors of Canadian Immigration application for Skilled Workers and Professionals Category.
The passmark to allow you to apply for this program is still 67pts.
Where you will get your points from will be based on your credentials.
Six Selection Criteria's
1. Points - Education
15 - Vocational 2 years
20 - College
22 - Double Degree
25 - Materal/Doctorate
2. Ability in
16 - English
or
18 - French
3. Points - Work Experience
15 - (1 year)
17 - (2 years)
19 - (3 years)
21 - (4 years)
4. Points - Age
0 - 16 or under
2 - 17
4 - 18
6 - 19
8 - 20
10 - 21 to 49
8 - 50
6 - 51
4 - 52
2 - 53
0 - 54
5. Adaptability
Spouses Education
3 - Vocational 2 years
4 - College
5 - Masteral
5 - Doctorate
5 - one year work experience
in Canada
5 - one year study in Canada
5 - First degree Relative
in Canada
6. Arranged Employment
5 - Certified Job Offer
5 - Provincial Nomination
Program Certificate
In a nutshell, a person with a college Education, 4 years work experience in an occupation that is part of the National Classification Occupation qualified list will have 67 points.
So for those people who are already 50 but still has a spouse that also has a post secondary education or relatives in Canada or a Job offer, they will still have a chance to qualify. Forget about the preconceived notion about the age limit in Canadian Immigration.
Although if you are already with in the age bracket, I suggest that you should file right away. The condition of qualifying for the program is always dependent on the existing selection criteria.
If it changes, then there goes your only chance to still apply for Canada despite of the favorably age limit for Canadian Immigration.

Hi Jay. I'm planning to apply under the Skilled Worker Class, and I have a son who would be turning 18 in July 2010. What should I do if he turns 18 while I'm waiting for approval? Many thanks, by the way, for your informative site.
Dear filprowriter,
You would not have to do anything, except to make sure that he also accomplishes the proper forms, as a dependent that will turn 18, he would also have to accomplish the PR application form.
Should you have more questions, please email me at jaraneta@go2canada.com.
