Last year I applied for PR for my spouse. He has 4 children from a previous marriage, who live with their mother in the US. We specifically stated on the application that they were not coming to Canada and that she has sole custody of them. My husband sees them briefly at Christmas, and that is the only contact he really has with them.

Yesterday I received a letter from the Mississauga processing center requesting medicals done for them. I sent them this message:

I submitted an application for permanent residency back in June 2017. At that time I indicated on form IMM 0008, that my 3 minor children would NOT be accompanying me to Canada. I am unable to get medicals done for them since they reside with their mother in the United States and she has sole custody. I have no access to the children except to see them briefly at Christmas. My ex-wife WILL NOT ALLOW me to take them to live or visit Canada. Also, the children do not have passports. Please note on form IMM 5406 that I indicated my children's address is in New York state and not in Canada. Please process my application as the sole person applying for permanent residency.


Now, what happens? Do the kids absolutely have to do the medicals done even if they are not coming to Canada?

Thanks for your help!
