I actually adopted her to take responsibility of her education and well being which I could do from anywhere I am without necessarily accompanying us to canada. What's you take on this please
Then why have you added her to your Canadian PR application? Are both her parents deceased?

Nope but they have revoked their parental rights to us.

Then this is an adoption of convenience and should not be approved. I would wait to see what the results of your meeting are. We’re you not asked to provide death certificates for the parents at the meeting? Is there a reason why the parents could not care for the child other than poverty?

The biological parents were present at the interview. The officer asked them questions and they answered sincerely. The child is the last of 6 and actually a product of failed contraceptive and they don't have the financial resources to take care of the child hence the reason for putting the child up for adoption. Meanwhile, the officer told us he's satisfied with the adoption relationship

This a clear case of adoption of convenience which should be denied. I am not sure why the representative didn’t tell you that this would not qualify as an adoption based on Canada’s definition. You will have to see what the results are.

And moreover, adoption of convenience doesn't mean application would be denied. They also have a Procedural Fairness system that will suggest you remove the child to let your application got through.

At the interview the officer asked, if peradventure the child is found not qualify under the Canadian law are we going to accept to remove the child from the application or we withdraw our application.

I never said your family would be denied. I said the application shouldn’t go through with the additional child who has been added through an adoption of convenience. So the case officer was not that positive? You story has now changed. Are you actually aware of other cases where adoptions of convenience have been accepted?
