First off, I apologize for misinterpreting your message to say that you were the son.
Are you the 2nd wife? Or a relative of the second wife? No one is trying to compromise your anonymity, but it's hard to give good advice without basic information about who one is talking to.
As others have said, there are no special provisions to facilitate the parent of a minor Canadian citizen to come live in Canada.
I'm sorry for the situation and wish the second wife lots of luck in moving forward with her son.

Good advice from Leon overall (as usual), but I disagree that declaring a common law partnership would work in this case. The sponsorship application asks for information on previous spouses and the dates of the relationships. The sponsor would have to lie in this case and say that they were separated (though not legally) from their previous spouse when the common law partnership was established. That would put the applicant at risk of revocation due to misrepresentation. CIC likely has info on the first wife as well since she was probably (?) sponsored to by her spouse to become a Canadian PR.Leon said:You could however say that having lived with the 2nd wife for more than 12 months while not having lived with his first wife at the same time, it would constitute a separation from his first wife and a common law partnership with his 2nd wife. This would enable him to sponsor his 2nd wife for PR as his common law partner, regardless of the marriage being valid. However, in order for that to happen, they must still be together.
A man can not sponsor an ex wife or an ex common law partner if they have split up.
As ABs says, the long and the short of it is that the wife would need to immigrate here on her own application, not sponsored by anyone else.ABscientist said:( If you want to start a life in canada you have to immigrate here on express entry or as a student (basically start from scratch). The child however is a canadian citizen and wont have a problem entering or leaving canada.
