Hi,
I want to share my case here so if anyone is facing same problem, this can help.
I had applied for PR and application has two candidate me and my spouse.
But I got divorce 5 years back in my home country and I have child from my previous marriage. My child is with my ex-wife.
During my PR application, Officer first asked for child birth certificate and reason for divorce.
I gave child birth certificate and reason for divorce in simple work format.
I did not include my child name in my PR application initially so Officer asked me IMM5406 and IMM0008 forms to add my child into application.
I filled both forms and explained that I did not included my child name because I thought after divorce, child not my dependent. Also I attached Affidavit with explaining my situation as I donot want to include my child in my PR application as my child is with my ex-wife and I am not going to include in future as well.
Now officer asked for child medical and gave 30 days to present medical report.
I sent one letter to my ex-wife (Register AD) and asked for child medical and explained situation. After 1 week I sent another letter and asked same thing.
I explained that child is not with me and I can not present child medical report. Also attached Divorce Order which I attached during PR application and Mutual understanding stamp paper agreement between me and my ex-wife that stating child will remain with her and I can see my child once in 3 months.
Still Officer asked for Child medical and gave one letter to sign and notarize.
I explained again my case and signed letter & notarized and sent.
Officer gave Procedural Fairness letter and asked for Child medical again and gave 60 days to provide.
I hired one lawyer (Green & Spiegel – Stephen Green) and my lawyer also explained same thing in letter with added some court cases where such situation happened and court asked to revisit application for those candidates.
Also My current father in law went to my ex-wife’ house and tried to convenience her but she did not agreed so my father-in-law gave affidavit to me that he went and I gave my lawyer as well.
But still unfortunately, officer refused my application and stated that without child medical we can not process this application and on Humanitarian and Compassionate ground I am not satisfy that Applicant has done enough tries.
My lawyer (Green & Spiegel – Stephen Green) filed a case in court and court asked GCMS notes of my application.
CIC gave GCMS notes with same explanation which they gave in refusal letter.
After one month my lawyer asked CIC’s lawyer for settlement and they agreed for settlement.
CIC’s lawyer gave settlement letter and my lawyer present in Court to close the case.
Finally after 1 month CIC gave me and my current spouse PR.
Following are the documents I presented for this Problem:
1. Child Birth Certificate
2. IMM5406 and IMM0008 forms
3. Affidavit with explaining that I am not going to sponsor my child in future
4. Two letters copy with Register AD receipt which I sent to my ex-wife
5. Notarized letter which I received from CIC (same thing that I will not be able to sponsor my child in future)
6. Divorce Letter (this divorce letter does not have custody information)
7. Mutual understanding agreement (This agreement has custody information)
8. Affidavit from my current father in law that he went to my ex-wife house in back home and tried to explain but she did not agree
9. Lawyer letter with past court cases (https://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/fc-cf/decisions/en/item/218002/index.do?r=AAAAAQALS2FydW5hbml0aGkB) (https://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/fc-cf/decisions/en/item/229409/index.do?r=AAAAAQAIUmVpbmhvbHoB)
Hope this detail will help someone.
Best of Luck!
