Applying alone to Quebec even if I am married?

[longman]

My wife and my elder son are Canadian Permanent Residents who did not meet the physical residency requirements. I did not either, but since then I have renounced my residency to be able to apply again. I have also second son, who has never been Canadian resident. My question is whether I can apply as a single parent and indicate my second son only in my application for immigration to Quebec Certificate of Selection, but not include my wife and elder son who de jure are still Canadian residents until court rules otherwise. The second part of this question is whether I can include my wife and elder son in my application to Quebec Certificate of Selection if they are de jure Canadian residents despite not meeting physical residency requirements? Thanks a lot in advance!

Are your son and wife in Canada? Have they been reported? Your application can cause IRCC to look into your wife and son’s application. If they are not in Canada why not apply for PR for the full family if they haven’t their RO?

They are not in Canada. We all are in USA. The reason I cannot include them into application is because de jure they are still PRs until court revokes it. Also, I do not want them to renounce themselves, because when I apply with my spouse as accompanying person, then my Express Entry Scores is lower than if I applied alone. Therefore, for me it works better to apply alone and then sponsor them from Canada or just take them with me and see if they are reported or not. But I want mine to be really valid PR so that in worst case I could sponsor them again. So my ideal path would be apply with me and my younger son (who is not Canada PR) it gives me more points in express entry and it also gives me more points in Quebec Immigration.

Would expect that your spouse and child’s PR status will be examined while you apply for PR. Would also warn you that the Quebec immigration is in transition and will be favouring French skills and having new immigrants disperse across the country. It doesn’t seem like you are a French speaker. If our children will also have to attend French school if they go to public school.

Yes, I know, I am currently at level B1-B2 of French, still working to improve. One of the reasons I want my kids to grow in Quebec is bilingualism, I want them to grow native speakers of both languages. So that part I have already thought of. My only concern is to be in time to get last ticket to the train before it is too late for me age wise.
