Hi and good day forum users,
I and my wife are both PR holders. Due to some work commitment I had work abroad for some time and our son was born outside Canada. Now I have returned back to Canada and planning to apply for sponsorship for my one year old son. My wife is staying back with our son till he gets immigration.
While completing the checklist IMM5534e I came across the following point which is kind of confusing for me. I would appreciate if anyone can guide me a little:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the 'Document Checklist - IMM5534e' , Part A - Question 6 it mentions:
If the principle applicant (my son) is under the age of 18 and also the other parent is not a cosigner then I need to provide the following:
- Completed IMM5604 (Declaration from Non Accompanying Parent/Guardian For Minors Immigrating to Canada), witnessed by a notary public.
- Photocopy of a valid and legible identity document for that parent, bearing their signature
- If the parent is deceased, provide a copy of their death certificate instead
- If you are divorced or separated from the other parent, also include a copy of any related custody agreements.
If you are unable to provide the documents above, you must provide a detailed explanation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now my wife cannot be a cosigner as she is currently residing abroad with our son, however, she would be accompanying our son once he his immigration. So in that case do I need to provide the detailed explanation of our circumstances or .... what would be better way to tackle this.
I would appreciate any advise regarding the same.
P.S. If this question has been answered already somewhere in the forum, kindly point me to the post as I was unable to find it.
Thank you very much,
Sincerely,
