I’m Looking for some advice if you could take the time to read my story I’d really appreciate it.
I’m a December 2019 Applicant. My wife is from Laos. In the application is my wife our child and her son from a previous relationship. Her son lives with his father in Thailand and is non-accompanying.
We got our medical request in June 2020. We did the medicals for my wife and daughter in June , but my wife’s ex said, if she wanted to get the medical done for her son, she would have to travel to Thailand and take him herself because he was “very busy with his business.” and the nearest Panel Physician was 800 kms away.
Because of the border lockdowns around COVID-19, my wife was prevented from exiting Laos to complete this step. Every month we would check to see if she could travel to Thailand and every month she was told to “wait till next month.”
In November 2020 we got a letter from the Visa Post giving us 90 days to complete the step or refusal. We were alarmed by this, and my wife finally managed to talk her ex into helping us and take the son to the medical. He agreed to help us but said he’d only do it in the new year because he was busy.
2 days ago Thailand had a bunch of cases and the government asked people not to travel around the country. So now the ex says we can’t take the son to the medical at all, and he’s refusing to allow my wife to take him.
Our deadline to get this done is the third week in February. And bookings to travel to thailand have to be made well in advance.
We don’t even plan to sponsor this son in the future who is already 11 years old. Can we ask IRCC to waive the requirement for the medical for the non-accompanying dependent? Are these facts enough to simply sign away our right to sponsor the son? and continue with the application? Or should we continue to wait for an opportunity to complete this step, hoping the COVID restrictions will loosen?
Does anyone have an idea how to approach this? Or how IRCC will see it?
Thanks for reading all this I know it was long. I look forward to your thoughts.
