Hello,

I would double check this but I believe that they need documents to prove they are your children; such as a copy of a birth certificate. Give CIC a call and they can confirm this. Hope this helps you out :)

Not a very good sign that you're doing the app by yourself and can't find one of the major parts of it. I suggest you go back here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp and review everything again. There are 3 parts listed on that page; the Immigrant's guide they refer to is under Part 3: Information Guides. Select the appropriate one for your country.

Of course I've saw this checklist, but my kids are already canadians because my wife is canadian, so I think they dont need to be part of my sponsorship... right?!

You stated in your first post that you couldn't find it.

No, they do not need to be included in the sponsorship app if they are Canadian. They do need to be listed on IMM5406, Additional Family Information, and IMM5481, Sponsorship Evaluation.

There is NOTHING to fill out on form 5491, so what is it exactly you want to know? It is a checklist, and it specifically tells you to refer to your immigrants guide for the information you are looking for. There must be a section there telling you what information you MUST include with your applications regarding the children. Each guide is specific to your country of origin, so look it up and see what it says.

on the form 5491 item 23 they ask for childreen information... what information should I give... on the checlist of my country (portugal) is 3901 and they say this:
CHILDREN’S INFORMATION
If your children are adopted, you must include adoption papers and, if the adoption was done
according to customary law and not through the courts, evidence of the adoption ceremony such as
photographs . If you are divorced or separated, you must include proof that you have custody of the
children, that you have fulfilled all obligations in custody agreements, and that the children are free
to move to Canada.
If your children are aged 22 or over and you intend to have them accompany you, you must submit
for these children proof of full financial support by a parent since before age 22 and proof of

continuous full-time studies (such as letters from
their educational institution, school certificates,
diplomas, degrees, transcripts, marks cards), or

medical history if they are unable to provid
e for themselves due to a medical condition

but I've 2 childreen of blood (I'm not sure if it should be said like this) and both are minors... 4 and 1 year... so what should I say???

This is what I am seeing:

On form 5406: You list both of your children in section B.

On form 5481: You list both of your children in question 6B.

Your children are citizens of Canada. All that needs to be included with your completed application is their birth certificates (If born in Canada) or their citizenship certifcicate (if born outside of canada).

If you have not yet applied for your childrens citizenship certificates because they were born outside of Canada, you should do this immediately as you will need to provide this proof before they are allowed to come to Canada legally.

You have already spoken with the Canadian embassy regarding these certificates and I can only assume filled out all the necessary paperwork and such. Now you will just need to wait to receive those certificates. That is what will need to be included with your application.

You asked what you needed, you were told what was needed. You can proceed from here however you wish. Stating that Mom is Canadian, therefore the children are Canadian is not proof that the children are in fact Canadian.
