Dependent children - help needed please :(

[wowsers]

Makes sense than if her child is not a minor to have to undergo crime checks.

We will send everything we have. My spouses custody agreement states he can take her for vacation once a year. Something along those lines. Courts always favour the mom where he is from even his lawyer said he had no chance in getting joint custody since They have lived in different countries for many years and we're never married. He loves that child to death and he will do all he can for her. He downs t want to give up her right to come here if the child ever chooses to or if anything ever happens to the child's mother. So if the mother does not agree to take the child for Medicals is there anything we can do ? I would hate for something to happen in the future and her needing a parent. Is the only thing left for us to do is forfeit the child's right?

No, there are (usually) other options, for example your husband as a parent could apply to the court for an order that the child be taken to a panel physician for a medical. I say 'usually' because I do not know what country the child is in. The answer is to consult a lawyer practising in the jurisdiction where the child lives; then you can decide whether to proceed once you know the likely cost of applying. There are likely to be various alternative orders of that kind which may be made.

Unfortunately, without the medical, the only way for your husband's app to be approved is for him to forfeit his right to sponsor his child in the future.

If in future, the mother passed away or for some reason became completely unable to care for the child, you could try applying for the child based on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds.

This is what i found out that i need for a dependent under 22 coming from the U.k. who is not a citizen of Canada, and is not coming with his dad when he lands as a PR.


1) criminal record check because he is over 18
2) medical if we ever want to sponsor him in the future
3) 8 immigration photo's for our region
4) copy of passport
5) copy of birth certificate
6) additional family information form that he must fill out and sign because he is over 18 years old.

If any one has any more information that would be great . We had all our forms filled out when he was her this month , but CIC didn't enforce the change in age of dependents, so now have to send these back to the U.K to get signed , also we have to print off some of the old forms because they had a bar code attached to them and now the information has changed . A little stressed today to say the least. The sad part is , is that one of my step sons is over 22 and don't qualify as a dependent and wants to come. He is not married or living with anyone but has not been in school and works. Any suggestions.

As for the son turning 22, he would have to apply through his own merits under skilled worker program.

I am hoping if he wants to come he can apply for a holiday working student visa. Then if he likes it i can sponsor him , which i could do because i own my own company, and hopefully go through the LMO PROGRAM . Its a long way off for that at the moment. Lets just get my husband here.

Even if he came in on IEC, you still can't sponsor him. Only chance he got is to marry a Canadian PR or a Canadian while he is on IEC.

Could i not employ him and go though the labour board ?

You can employ him through LMO. It will only give your son a temporary stay in Canada. He still have to leave Canada at end of his work visa.

Really , that's not what i had in mind .so how do companies bring people over to work from other countries and get PR?

They usually apply for a CEC PR. But that would mean that whatever job he is doing over here would qualify him for the Canadian Experience Class.

In May 2013 Submitted my application for PR application for my Child to Mississauga Office. In June 2013 they sent the application to New Delhi. My Child is already on a TRP in Canada. Receved a letter from High Commission Canada in New Delhi on July to submit the Original Passport, Police Clearance and Right of Landing Fee. Replied back to them that my child is just 2 years old, so she is exempted from Police Clearance as well as of the Right of Landing Fee as published in their Guide to application for Sponsership. For the Original Passport submission to New Delhi in Inda, how can we do that as she is already in Canada on TRP. Send them all the photocopies for the passport with the TRP. Did not hear anything back from them. On the website application status still shows Application Received June 2013. Tried to call the Immigration Section in New Delhi, but the Call center only says to send a letter or an email and they will reply back. I have send them email waited 2 months, send them the letter waited 4 months, still no reply. Tried calling CIC in canada they say to call India or contact them via letter / email.

Is this the normal process that it takes so long. As few people were informing us that Child sponership is pretty fast and it gets done within 2-3 months.

I am worried as the status online since June 2013 is Application received.

Have any one submitted their child passport to Canadian High Commission in New Delhi when the child is in Canada on a TRP?

Hello everyone!
I am currently in process of my PR and got an approval for 1st stage in live in caregiver. So I have my under age illegitimate children to join me here in Canada,since I have the sole custody of my children do I need to comply the non -accompanying parent form for their biological father? I asked their Father to sign the form for the children but he refused and he doesn't care.Is anybody here in the forum can share their experienced and any ideas about my situation?do I need to provide any documents for the immigration officer? I got an affidavit of illegitimacy for my children and a copy of the law in Philippines, outlining the law that illegitimate children are under to the full authority of the mother.Please help me I will really appreciate any solutions and ideas. Thank you.

Looks like my stepchild's mom came to her senses and realized that getting the medicals done was in the best interest of the child ( a lot of pressure was put on her thou to see this).
She went this morning and got them done They have now been sent and now we wait again.

For those of you that are in the same position, don't give up I was reading posts and saw someone who didn't get them done over 10 years ago and now he needs his children to come to Canada and is having a very difficult time getting them here. We had to say we would take her to court as it was in the childs best interest just in case anything was to ever happen in the future. But at the same time reassure her that we were not in any form trying to take the child from her, and that's where I think parents get worried.
