SINP approved... canadian son... included in the application

[kosygene21]

hi am new here... just wanted to ask something... just received my nomination from SINP (sk) and getting ready to submit my application for PR at CIC... i have a 3-year old Canadian born citizen son but i brought him in the Philippines in 2012... of course i declared him in my application submitted in SINP as my dependant and when i received my nomination there was a note that says, family member included in the application which means i have to pay federal fee for him as well... so this also means that once i am advice to take medical exam/test, he would also be required the same? even if he is a canadian born citizen? can somebody help me please clarify this... thanks

There is no medicals for children below 18 is what I understand.

and because he is canadian born a birth certificate would be sufficient

Hi

You child will not be required to undergo a medical, you will not need to pay fees for him and you do not include him as a dependent in your application, which means you not list him on IMM0008, Generic Application Form For Canada. You will need to list him on IMM5406, Additional Family Information. Include a copy of his Canadian birth certificate.

There is no medicals for children below 18 is what I understand.

All those immigrating to Canada require a medical from a panel physician, even children, though the requirements are dependent on the age. Generally, those under the age of 5 only have a simple check-up, 5 years and older includes urine tests, 11 years and older includes a chest X-ray, and 15 years and older will undergo a full medical.
