Quitting/Getting Fired-ARC Extension-Changing Profession-Still hope for an APRC?

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. The worker’s dependents would remain dependents while the worker got an extension and/or changed industries.
The dependents have been in Taiwan almost as long and I want them to be able to apply for an APRC when they have been here for 5 years. As far as I can understand, after I have an APRC, any dependents can apply for an APRC for one when they qualify. I want to be sure that my getting an extension or changing jobs, I don’t jeopardize that. It seems like it wouldn’t.

I can’t answer your question with confidence, but below is the text of a translation of Article 16 of the Act for the Recruitment and Employment of Foreign Professionals, which deals with dependent issues in general terms (thanks to @tando for providing the title of the law and the article number in another thread):

After a foreign professional hired to conduct professional work has been approved for permanent residence by the National Immigration Agency, Ministry of the Interior, said person’s spouse and minor children, and children over twenty years old who are unable to live independently due to physical or mental disability, who have resided in the State lawfully and continuously for five years, have stayed in the State for more then 183 days in each of those years, and have behaved properly in compliance with the national interests of the State, may apply for permanent residency to the National Immigration Agency, Ministry of the Interior.

Where the permanent residence permit of a foreign professional as referred to in the preceding paragraph is revoked or cancelled in accordance with the provisions of this Act or of Article 33 of the Immigration Act, the permanent residence permits of said person’s spouse and minor children, and children over twenty years old who are unable to live independently due to physical or mental disability, shall be revoked or cancelled together therewith.
