Please help- non dependant medical

[suki123]

Hi all,

We are in the process of obtaining PR through the BC provincial Nominee programme.

We have received our medical requests but after stating my partners daughter in the U.K will not be accompanying us and we will not be able to obtain a medical for her we have received a request for her aswell.

I have read some people filling out a form ?, some spending thousands on lawyers, some applying for full custody for their ex to counter sue and cic accepting that as an effort etc and this is terrifying us!

He has not seen his daughter in around two years is unaware of her address , his ex will say just about anything to make her hate him and if she is forced to have a medical she will hate him even more!

Do we phone them, write a letter? I am dreading the response. It seems so silly as the medical expires after 12 months so she would only have to take another when she is 18 anyway! It would be lovely if they were amicable as it would be a great opportunity for her but to spend thousands for her to have a medical on something she is not going to use is ludicrous.

Please help!

I have read somewhere that VO issues medical for dependents as well, "Accompanying" or "Not accompanying", but as far your situation is concerned, I guess you can contact your VO and explain the situation. IF she is in no way a dependent [like financially] then I guess theres a chance.

I might be wrong, but seniors can suggest better.

I believe a few others in this situation have provided custody papers showing the other parent has full custody and proof that either they were unable to get in contact with the child or that the other parent wouldn't allow the medical to be done.

Along with that, you should get him to sign an affidavit stating that he knows that he will never be able to sponsor the child in the future

In the U.K they never give one parent full custody when there is a seperation as there is no reason too unless its an extreme circumstance.

Will call CIC today and see what they suggest

If you have partial custody then CIC will expect that you can get the medical done. You will need to provide hard proof that you cannot obtain the medical. Proof I have seen others provide is letters / emails from the ex spouse refusing to give access to the child and refusing to have the medical done.

I have contacted CIC who have advised me to call London as my application would now have been sent there.

I see this being a major issue. The situation isn't straight forward as he is still married and she is also refusing to sign to decree absolute. I should add there are no assets involved only debt.
