illegitimate child (undeclared)

[chicha12]

Good day to all.
I have an illegitimate child in my gf before. I didn’t declare him due to we’re not in good terms with her mother before and we already have a miscommunication with her for years and now that she knew that I’m already here in Canada she begin to contacting me again. Is there any chance that I can bring my illegitimate son here in Canada? but I already have a family now living here.

How did you get PR or citizenship?

I got my PR under Provincial Nominee Program

Unfortunately, you were required at the time of your PR application to declare your child (even if not moving with you to Canada or having no contact with your child at the time) so no you can’t sponsor your child now. The child would have been declared and undergone medical at the time of your application.

How old is the child? You can look into the child studying in Canada as an international student.

He’s 14 now, and under what type of program can I possible bring him here?

International student. He could come as a high school student (est. $10-15k tuition per year) or post secondary (fees vary per school). This doesn’t give him PR or citizenship as he has to be approved on his own merits (years away).

Just to confirm - you are married with children?

What is his citizenship?

 

[chicha12]

yes Married already with kids.

Ok. So you can’t sponsor him through “Lonely Canadians” clause where you have no family. Him coming as an international student either in high school or post secondary. Again what is his citizenship? May be eligible as he gets older for IEC permit.

Filipino citizen

What’s the IEC stands for? and what age that program covered?

 

[chicha12]

btw thank you for answering my concern.

So he is not eligible for IEC as it is for citizens of certain countries (Europe, Commonwealth). It is a holiday working visa to come over and work for a couple of years after age 18. Again it doesn’t give him PR.

Another option is for his mother to immigrate based on her merits through Express Entry or PNP programs. Or for his mother to study in Canada.

Thank You so much for all the info.

Agree. You can help "bring the child here" by helping him to apply as an international student.
But it will be up to him to get enough scores via studying, work experience and language skill to qualify himself to become a PR.
Since the child was not declared, you cannot sponsor him.
