Dear Forum inhabitants,
I need your help on below question:
I was divorced and remarried. I have a child from a previous marriage who lives and will live with my ex-wife as she has custody. My 1.5 years old child from 2nd marriage is Canadian born citizen who lives in India on India visa. So the truth is that the total family members are 4. (I am including my child from a previous marriage as he is also my blood). I had applied for Canadian visitor visa in 2017 where I had mentioned details about the child from my previous marriage i.e his name, date of birth and address etc but I had mentioned him as "Not accompanying".
Now I am filling Express entry online forms for profile creation:
1. What should I write in family section where it asks "How many family members does ******** has? Should I include the child from previous marriage who live and will live with my ex-wife permanently and Canadian born child who is from my current marriage. If yes family members will be 4.
2. Is there need to exclude child from previous marriage who live with ex-wife permanently. If yes family members will be 3. But I should be able to take him to Canada if required in long future if circumstances arise in future.
2.1. So should I add him in family count or I need to take just the applicants included in this application.
3. Should I exclude my Canadian born child also as he is already a Canadian citizen? If yes family will be of 2 members.
4. Will the family member be only the applicants included in this application no other members in the family?
Please answer my queries as its important for me as I am very confused and need the answers badly.
Thanks in advance.
