Hi,

I had approval on sponsoring my children for PR, my ex-wife agreed for the kids to immigrate to Canada, but just before the travel date, she changed her mind and went to court and won CUSTODY Case outside Canada.
i believe she send email to IRCC and told them she changed her consent and as custodian she thinks she cant get PR visa for to accompany the kids and stay with them, although she had a PR and she revoked it in 2017 and refused my PR sponsorship in 2021.

i received letter from IRCC , here is their exact wording:



"
We are conducting a further review of the applications for your children named above, and I
have concerns that you may no longer have permission to take your children to Canada. Please
provide evidence that you have legal authority for them to travel with you to Canada for the
purpose of them becoming permanent residents within 15 days of this letter.
"


i made a petition to the court to travel with my children for short period just to complete their PERMENANT RESIDENCY PROCEDURES

the translated text is below

"
The Defendant is ordered to hand over the children’s passports to enable the Claimant to take them outside the State (Canada) for the purpose of completing permanent residency procedures, during the period from 07/02/2026 until 15/02/2026, provided that the Claimant deposits a financial guarantee in the amount of 10,000 and the passport of his father or mother, which shall be returned to him immediately upon his return with the children on or before the specified date. The passports and the children shall be handed over at least two days prior to travel, "




my question is ?

what's your intake on the court petition order, they allowed me to travel with my children to complete the PR process, but return them ,

this sentence of returning the children and putting a deposit as guarantee is making me sleepless that IRCC officer might deem this doesnt equate to migration to permanently be in Canada, although i sent them explanation letter that , saying as a Canadian citizen am planning to apply sponsorship for my children as soon as they complete their PR as that is the only condition for minors under 18 with a Canadian parent to be legible for Canadian citizenship

You really need a lawyer. A good one. Given the UAE isn't a signator to the Hague Convention on child protection, I'd guess IRCC is still going to want the custodial parents consent regardless of what the court order says.
 
Agree that this is exactly how parental abduction cases. The fact that your ex now appears to have full-custody and it’s unclear if you have any other visitation but the 1 week then not sure getting PR with no intention of remaining in Canada is a valid reason to approve the sponsorship. Your best bet may be to wait until your children are 18+ and sponsor them at that point if they want to be sponsored.
