Doesn’t matter he can’t be your adopted child according to Canada. What you are referring to is adoption of convenience.
So pls guide me what I should do other wise my wife will be sick because has attached with my wife since 5 years

Congratulations :) , yah you must send the requested documents via mail to VO. As I know you should send only the requested documents as this recommended by CIC but it’s up to you if you want to add extra documents. In the beginning they asked for the two forms only then the VO will send you email to ask for more documents if needed ( birth certificates , PCC , medical test,...etc)

The place of VO should be mentioned in the DM letter , is it Cuba or Mexico city?
