Sponsor Family Class Canada)

[Thamara0514]

Hello Guys, I have a complicated question I hope anyone could help me.
"I sponsor my husband to come here in Canada and now he just received his AOR on Nov. 26,2015. He has 2 kids in his previous gf. The eldest one his name was not in the birth cert. But the other kids has his name in the birth certificate. My problem is we did not put the kids name in the application due to we don't wan't his application to get complicated and thinking that will just sponsor the two kids on the later date. So my question is: Is that going to conflict on our application because we did not include the kids in his application? Is Immigration will find out that he has kids and did not put them in the application? PLEASE GUYS I NEED YOUR HELP ASAP!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.


By the way I lived in Canada and I'm a Canadian Citizen who sponsor my husband.

If he try to sponsor his kids in a later date he will be charge for misrepresentation because he did not include the kids in his previous application. In short he cannot sponsor his kids anymore.

Thank you for your responce. That I already know. But Is that going to affect his application now?

Yes - it's misrepresentation. If caught, you can expect his application to be refused and he may also be given a 5 year ban from entering Canada.

It doesn't matter whether he wants to sponsor the children or not - they must be listed in his application.

You're taking a huge risk by lying in his application. Lying in an immigration application is an extremely serious matter.

Your application is still early in the process so you have lots of time to add the children into the application. It doesn't matter if it will complicate the current application, it MUST be done.

If you don't do this, the kids will NEVER be able to be sponsored to Canada in the future, and as mentioned your husband could have his app refused or PR revoked if it's given under a misrepresented app, not to mention a ban from Canada.

But the problem also is his kids does not carry his last name and there not under his care. The kids is with there mom.. How can I add his kids if one of the birth certificate his not the father but the other one he is but doesn't carry his last name.

He may need to do a DNA test for CIC to prove he's the father.

Remember if they are not declared in the application and do medical exams, they can never be sponsored to Canada in the future, no exceptions.

That we know. my friend also did the same thing and was approved for PR. later they just adopt the kid and now reunite together. But in our case Its ok if we cannot sponsor the child because the mom is not going to allow us to take the child away from her. Nothing is impossible with God.

What if something happens to the mom (i.e. like an accident or if she passes away)? If you don't declare the kids you can never sponsor them even if the mom is no longer able to care for them.

You should also know that in most cases you can't adopt your own kids that weren't previously declared, as it's considered an adoption of convenience. If you try to sneak around the fact they are biological kids and should have been declared instead of adopting them, that's a serious form of misrepresentation/fraud.

If he doesn't want to include his kids in his own PR app, he needs to declare them to CIC but can then include a letter that he is knowingly leaving them out of the app as dependents, and fully understands this means they can never be sponsored in the future.

To try and hide the kids and simply not include them in the app, is misrepresentation and could lead to serious consequences if CIC finds out about it.

You only have AOR, so I would add the kids to the application now. Once the application is at the visa office it will have a number, so you can send a revised application including the children. You can explain that he misunderstood the instructions and thought he could not include the children because they are in the custody of the mother, but that he has now been informed that that is not correct.

He can include the children in the application, but say they are non-accompanying. He will have to get medicals for the kids. If the mother will not cooperate, get a family member or friend to talk to her and explain how important it is that the children be included now. if she dies or cannot take care of them later, the children can only be sponsored later by the father if they are included in the application now.

Adopting the children later will almost certainly not work. Do not take your friend's experience as typical.

You do not want to complicate his application. But not including the children now could potentially complicate his application much more than you would ever want.
