Hi everyone, I have few concerns again regarding our app as I read through different posts and threads from this forum. Hoping anyone would be of great help, please.

I have 2 kids from my former (and still, actually, coz I haven't filed for annulment/divorce yet! *NON ACCOMPANYING*) husband, both named after him but in my full custody. We no longer have contact with my ex so I continued on with my life...
My 3rd baby is with my current partner(conjugal; *ACCOMPANYING*), who left for Canada in Sept 2015 as a landed immigrant, declared single & no common-law/conjugal partner. Our child was born in Oct 2015. He sent me an "Affidavit of Acknowledgement of Paternity and Use of Last Name" on Nov 2015, but I have already registered our child on Oct 2015 as an illegitimate child and father's section as UNKNOWN.

In my partner's application forms, he declared our child and not my 2 kids. He passed Sponsorship Eligibility so we're kinda assuming everything is ok in his side, but still wondering on my side...

My questions now:
1. Can/should my partner update his family background in our app - acknowledging my 2 other kids? How can we do so?
2. Could this probably result in the delay of our app? I was wondering if we should act now before they even ask for additional documents.
3. I have sent my own 5-page, notarized Affidavit explaining each and every situation there is to ask, from my previous relationship to present, including the illegitimacy of my youngest child... SHOULD THIS BE ENOUGH?
4. How can he declare our child in all his data in Canada??

Thank you in advance for the response. :)
Your situation is complicated. I would speak to an immigration consultant. A great one is Roxanne Jessome. She does skype consulations for about $150. I've consulted with her. It's worth it. http://www.joincanada.com/

Agreed. My partner is currently here is Alberta at present. If i understand it, we have to drive to the border to finalize his PR when the time comes, correct?
On the september spreadsheet there is a tab with landing info i collected, there might be good info there

Exciting news indeed! We filed our application two weeks after you. Nice to see some movement from Ottawa.

Good luck!

I'm still not 100% sure about the landing part either. The border is quite a drive. Airport maybe.

I hear ya. Border is 6 hrs away. But in another thread, someone said that because US is a visa-exempt country we do not need to go to the border. Sooooo.....wait and see, I suppose. As soon as I know I will share the info for sure.

Thanks

You can also set up a landing appointment at a CIC center (sorry, I'm not sure exactly about this process). However, I heard the wait for an appointment can be a bit long. But if you're planning to stay in Canada anyhow, it might be more convenient to do that. Maybe another person can come by and give you more info about that.
