Child custody / Philippines

[hmBadz]

My application under Spousal Sponsorship is still being processed. I do have accompanying dependents and included in my application the same Affidavit that you mentioned. However, mine is just one affidavit which was an "Affidavit of Illegitimacy and Sole Parental Authority". I have not heard anything yet from the embassy since they started processing my App in January 23, 2017. I am pretty confident of everything that I sent but still can't help to feel uneasy at times about the supporting documents I provided for my dependents. Crossing fingers and toes that CIC will be satisfied enough and I wish the same for you.

Hello! does your application for your accompanying dependent providing the affidavit u mentioned went well? thanks in advance!

As I said previously, an affidavit is risky because it is not solid proof, just what someone swears to be true to a lawyer and affidavits like this have been disputed by Canadian immigration officials in the past. It is much better to get a sole custody order from the court in the Philippines, plus a signed Canadian immigration form from the non-accompanying parent. That has worked without complications.

Yes. I provided both Affidavit and the IMM 5604 when we initially sent in our application to CPC-M in December 2016. We all got our visas in June 2017.

Hi where did you apply for affidavit? Is it in the Philippine embassy? What exactly did you say in the affidavit?

I drafted the Affidavit myself and had a lawyer review and reconstruct. He then notarized it after.

Hi ma'am.. I'm in the same very stressful situation.. Do u have any updates on this? Were u able to get the app approved without a court order? Your response will be greatly appreciated!

Hi there, I just wanted to get an update on this topic.I am in the final stage of my PR application (In Canada) I have a 13 y/o illegitimate son, with my last name. His father signed the birth certificate as acknowledgement of paternity. No contact with the father since 2005, no financial support from him. CIC requested for his father to sign a consent for our PR application but I dont have any form of contact with him anymore. I have an Affidavit of Illegitimacy notarized by the Consulate General of the Philippines in Vancouver, I still have his DSWD TRavel Clearance Certificate for a Minor ( when he came to join me in Canada in 2015). I am executing an affidavit of sole parent. In your experience was that enought to prove custody?

Hi

I also called the office of DSWD and inquire about this matter and they said no need for them to make a letter or permit to take the child for travel,because the mother will be the one taking the child with her. They only gave letter of approval allowing the person to take the child to travel if that person is not the mother or the father.
So DSWD has nothing to do with this...i am in this situation and i process what is needed.

The only person that you need to see is a lawyer, i am just fortunate enough that my nephew is a lawyer and i do not need to pay.

**hi ma'am! In yr case, is the bio father mentioned in the birth cert? Were u able to get approved without a court order? Yr response will be greatly appreciated!

Hi good day to everyone...

I have a 14-year-old illegitimate child, we are planning to migrate to Canada, his father's name doesn't appear in his birth certificate. Do I need more documents to apply? Thank you.
