How do I get my step son here after we renunced his sponsorship originally

[thomshel]

My husbands ex wouldn't allow us to have his son's medical done for the sponsorship so we were given the PR without his son and he signed to renounce the sponsorship of his son. The ex is NOW saying she will allow him to have the medical done. Can this be done? Should we try to apply for a visitors visa instead? How can we go about adding him if it is possible? Any help would be appreciated. I should mention they are from Cuba.

Is he over 19?

has your husband's application been approved and has he landed for PR already? if so, i'm afraid he won't be able to sponsor his son at all, since he legally gave up his right to in order to be approved.

if your husband's application is still being processed, then you want to send updated forms to his visa office with this new information as well as a letter of explanation ASAP so he can be added to the application as an accompanying dependant. you can do this by following the directions received in the sponsor approval letter or by going to the IRCC website and submitting the forms and explanation letter by case specific enquiry.

if you have not received sponsor approval yet, then wait till you receive that letter and submit the updated information.

your husband should not submit a passport for visa processing or land as a pr until he receives confirmation his child was successfully added to his application. not confirming this can easily bar him from sponsoring his child ever.

If your husband acknowledged he was removing his son from his application, CIC allowed this, and he later landed as a PR... then there is nothing more that can be done. The consequence of willingly removing his son from the app is that he can NEVER be sponsored now under family class.

He can certainly try for a visitor visa to travel to Canada, and if that's approved he can visit here. But this will not help him be sponsored. He will need to go home after his visitor status expires.

Thanks for explaining that so clearly.
Just further explains that our actions always have consequences.

And the mother... IRPR 117(9)(d) strikes again.

Good one.
Yes, the Sponsor and Mother are to blame.

Visitor visa will likely be refused since it's extremely likely once the son comes to Canada, he will never return to Cuba.

I have seen many of your responses and noted your high negative rating. This process is very stressful and full of ordinary people facing a huge task. Your comments do little except amuse yourself and add to an already stressful situation.
If you are indeed an applicant or sponsor please show respect and if that is not possible silence would be great!

Add the fact that Obama closed the door on Cubans.
Poor kid.

Difference here is this was no accident. He was fully aware what he was doing when removing his son from the app, and even had to sign some form indicating it so CIC would proceed with his own app.

Very different from the cases where someone genuinely didn't know the rules and the exclusion was unintentional.

How did Obama "close the door on Cubans"?

Thanks Scylla. It was an unfair policy and I am glad it ended because if Haitians did the same they were sent back.

The difference is Cuba is a communist country. Haiti is not. Haitians are not escaping a communist regime.

Had Haiti been a communist country, US would have extended the "wet foot / dry foot" policy to Haitians as well.
