R. 117(9)(d)

I am a Canadian citizen rightnow and I recived my permanent resident visa last February of 2002, and during my application for PR I didn't include/undeclared my son as a family member. I'm I still part or that regulation which was regulated prior to the issuance of my PR Visa? Can anyone give a feedback on this please because I want to sponsor my son . thank you...

As I understand the rules, you have to include all family members[spouse/common-law partner, children(including those adopted)] whether accompanying or non-accompanying in your application. They have to undergo the medical exam as well.

If you did not include your son at all, he is not considered a member of the family class and you can not sponsor him ever.

but the law was being regulated or being made after i recieved my permanent visa. so i believe i'm not covered by the R. 117(9)(d). thats what i want to clarify. thanks.

Credit to PMM for enlightening myself on the CanLii database. This appellant became PR in 2000 . . . his similar application was denied and subsequent appeal was "dismissed". Sorry!
