Hello! I just received a message to take the medical exams for me and my family. I have a 21, almost 22 years old child, who I've no contact. Any contact. I can't even ask him to take this exam, because we don't talk at all. I was trying to find information here, actually I found plenty of things, but normally about minor kids. If I just write a letter that there is no possibility for me to be sponsor in the future, and sign with the notary, is it enough to ircc to cancel this medical request? Thank you in advance!

No you’ll need much more than that. IRCC is very reluctant to eliminate children from their parent’s sponsorship applications. You’ll need proof that you’ve attempted to contact your child in every way possible and hope that will be enough or wait for them to turn 22.

Thank you for you answer. He will be 22 in some weeks, but I already applied for the PR. If I understood, they lock the age when we apply. I don't know what to do, because I don't have contact, I don't know where he lives, nothing... I'm afraid to have a refusal on my application. This is not fair :(

I wonder if it's possible to submit an update IMM 0008 form and remove you son from the list of dependents after his 22 birthday.
Try to inclued proof that you attempt to contact him (and failed) and include a letter of explaination.... Not sure if this will work.
