Child details in ExpressEntry, Divorced

[deba]

Hi,

I am "legally separated" from my wife and undergoing divorce. Child custody is going to be with my wife. Also, I dont plan to apply/ bring my child to Canada.

In ExpressEntry application, if I mention Yes to "Do you have children?", then I need to provide Medical for my child, which will be difficult as my wife wont allow. Please suggest, if I should mention No to the question and not give any details about my child?

Let me know your suggestions/ expert guidance.

Answering NO will be misrepresentation that can get you barred from entering Canada for up to 5 years. You will have to be truthful. Try and reason it out with your spouse - that will be easier than reasoning out with a Case Officer sitting remotely in Canada.

All the best!

THanks Asivad.

Even I agree with you regarding the point of misinterpretation and giving wrong details to CIC.
I know wife wont agree and she may delay/ jeopardise this whole application process.

Any other option that you think will be suitable apart from below -
1) giving child details, but not giving child medical. Medical is marked mandatory but I provide self signed declaration/ some reasoning to CIC instead of medical?
2) mention "No" under "Do you have children" but I mention about my child under "Family" section - This includes any parent, any spouse or common-law partner, any child including adult children, and any brothers or sisters.

I feel 2nd option would be more reliable and is safe? What are your thoughts about pros and cons?
Is it possible to send query to CIC and get some clarity in this regard? Do they respond to case specific queries through emails?

If you want to go with option 2, I suggest you talk to some decent Immigration lawyer.

You can try but expect no response. People with ITA find it difficult to get queries answered promptly. And in this case, it is a straightforward response. You've no choice but to tell the truth. The only hitch is medicals. For that you can send in a letter of explanation after submitting all documents post ITA and hope the VO will consider your case sympathetically.

All the best!

Unfortunately either option may get you refused as you do need to provide your child's medicals, accompanying you or not. The link below is of someone on this forum whose application was refused eventhough he had no custody of his child. My suggestion would be to reason with the mother and provide your child's medical.

Hey... Could you please tell us if you got the medical of your child ? How did u manage to get the PR?

Hello,
Same situation. I am in Canada already. I found this
https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=988&top=4

So, I must ask the mother to get a medical exam no matter what I guess. Do I also need valid passport information of my son as well during EE form fillings?

Thanks in advance
