minor child's medical examination for PR

[Zinky]

me and my husband are legally seperated and child (3yrs age) is in my custody. Now is it mandatory for my child to undergo medical examination for her father's candian PR process?

Please note that we have no intention of accompanying him to canada in future. If required we would like to apply for seperate visa for future travel purposes.

Yes, it is mandatory. But your ex-husband can claim legal separation and skip the medical exam. It will then be up to the Visa officer's discretion whether to approve his PR. If you cooperate with him and let your child undergo the exam, things will be much easier for him.

What i understood from this and other related posts is-
if i refuse for my child's medical examination for my ex- husband's canda PR, he can put up legall seperation papers along with my refusal notary,and he can skip my child's medical examination. But as it's consequences, he will not be able to sponser my child's entry to canada in future or in other words my child will not be able to go canada in future as "his depent".

On the other hand I can get a seperate canda visa or PR done for my child if required for future travel or education purpouse.

Please guide me if I am correct on this or not.

I really do not understand parents who refuse the medical for their child. In the end, you are only screwing your kid over. Just do the medical.

You understand this correct...If you don't allow for medicals, her father will never be able to sponsor her in future.

But by allowing her medicals now, you will be able to secure her future, just in case if things change. In extreme scenarios this is all the more beneficial for the child....
Please keep your childs future in mind while deciding.

I would be really greatfull if you can only guide me for what I am looking for, and not judge my decision of not letting me kid go for medical examination; as you have not walked in my shoes during the journey that I have been through.
Still thank you for your advice and looking for guidance about what I want to know.

thank you for your reply, but what about the second half of my question?

If i dont let her medical examination done now for my ex- husband's canada PR.... will i be able to get my kid's tourist visa or canada PR in future as an individual.
I do not want my kid to enter canda as my ex-husband's dependent.

I don't think the refusal to perform medical exam will lead to future inability to sponsor your child. The child will remain the biological child of the father and the relationship will continue at least until another man adopts her as his own child.

It certainly will make it impossible to sponsor the child in the future. Many cases on the forum of children being excluded from family class sponsorship for failing to do the medical at the time of application and it’s a stance that’s been supported by the Supreme Court of Canada time and again.

It has nothing to do with your journey. Allowing the child to have the medical does nothing to your life. All it does is give potential future opportunity to your child, opportunity that you might never be able to give.

Refusing the medical does nothing to any future application of yours.

@Zinky it might look like you're getting back at your ex now but you're putting the future of your child at risk, something you may later regret and your child might later question your judgement and hate you for it. And what if you're not able to provide a future your child deserves? Parents should learn to remove pride and sentiments when dealing with issues that pertains to their children. He's still your child's father after all and you can't take that away even if he gets a step father.

Moreover, have you also considered the fact that you'll need your ex's consent to travel with your child later in future? Screw him now and he'll screw you later. Good luck.
