Step Daughter

[sterion75]

Can anyone help. We are thinking of making the move. I have PR and will sponsor my partner and 2 children. I am step father of one child(she has lived with us permanently for 2 years whilst we have been together) however her real father defaults on maintenance and rarely sees her.

How does this play out in terms of being able to bring her to Canada? I read somewhere you need a birth fathers certified approval?

Thanks

Yes you will require either permission from the father to remove the child from the UK (if he parental rights) or a court order for the same if he won't co-operate.
