Sponsoring a handicapped dependent child

[georgegrigor]

Hello everyone. We are very happy to come across this forum.
We are new Canadian citizens, however our first child, who was with spina bifida, remains in our native country. We would like to bring him to Canada, but we failed to declare him in our immigration papers, since all his life he's been living in a special government center for children with physical disabilities.
We greatly appreciate any advise or comments.
Thank you.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - this passage is from the CIC website:

"Note: Misrepresenting your situation in any way can make you inadmissible to Canada. You cannot misrepresent any relevant facts in your application. You cannot misrepresent your family members and marital status, and you must inform Citizenship and Immigration Canada of any change in circumstances. You must identify all your family members in the application. If you fail to disclose and/or have examined any of your close family members at any time between the date of the original application and the date your family member is granted permanent residence, you will be barred from sponsoring those members in the future."
