Hi, i am a bit tensed following recent developments in my application of PR via express entry.
I have applied in August 2017 after receiving ITA along with my spouse who has a son of 12 yrs old from her previous marriage.
Recently CIC got back to me with below:
1. Court custody document giving permanent custody of son to his mother and the right to move with him permanently to Canada
2. Declaration of no-objection from your wife’s ex-spouse together with a copy of his passport bio page
My spouse’s ex-husband had deserted and absconded following, which she filed for a divorce. Court gave the divorce as well as custody to my spouse mentioning absconding and deserting in their verdict, which we already added to the PR application.
To get a NOC and Passport copy will not be possible as there is no contact between her and her ex-husband.
What should be the course of action?
My step son lives with us and is financially reliant on us with no contact from his father for the last 3 years. I had an understanding since her mother has the custody we would not require anything else.
Now we have filed in the Dubai Courts to get a guardianship for my son however legal processes usually take its own sweet time and will not be able to respond with the documents to cic within 30 days as requested.
What options do i have and how do i approach cic?
On a final note, my wife is expecting and she is going to deliver in April. How does that affect our application and when do i add my child.
One way of looking at it is to inform CIC that my step son's medical is already done and if i can change his status from accompanying to non-accompanying for now and as soon as i get the court document which may take 3-6 months considering all the hearings that will happen again, i will apply for him as dependent. Will they process my and my spouse's application while keeping our step son's application on hold for 6 months? and later i can sponsor him?
Thanking in advance.
