inquiry about the docs for the sponsored husband's kid

[dombledore]

Hi there,

I'm confused when I prepared the documents for sponsoring my husband (from Brazil). I'm the PR and my husband is currently holding the CWP working in Canada. However, he has a kid under his ex-wife's custody in Brazil. My question is does his kid need to have the physical examination enclosed in the application as well even though his kid is not coming to Canada at all? Also, for the police certificate, does my husband need to get it from Brazil even if he has been here in Canada for two years?

Many thanks for any help!!

Yes, the child must undergo a medical examination, otherwise he/she will forever be excluded from coming to Canada, even in an emergency type case, i.e. something happens to childs mother and father is all that is left. It is very important to NOT exclude the children, ever.

Yes, your husband must obtain a police clearance from any country in which he resided for 6 months or more after attaining 18 years of age.

Thank you Alurra for your detailed response. I have one more question, I noticed the application package is different for the "spouse in Canada" and "sponsorship for the family class (spouse...etc.)." So many required forms are different. So in my case that my husband is currently working in Canada, I should go for the following link (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp) as "spouse in Canada" class, right?

Also, when I pay the fee, I only need to pay the principal application of $ 550 (including sponsorship fee) at beginning, right? or any other fee I should pay?

Thanks again,

Just because your husband is currently working in Canada does not mean you have to file an INLAND application. Generally, those are faster than an OUTLAND application, however, if you file INLAND your husband MUST remain in Canada for the duration of the application. He won't be able to leave for any reasons, because if he is refused re-entry, than your application is lost and you must begin again with an OUTLAND application.

Do not let the 'names' of the applications confuse you. You can and should still file an OUTLAND application for your husband as they are generally faster than INLAND applications. Use this guide instead http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp. He would likely be processed from CPP-O anyway, so when you fill up the forms and it asks which VO facility you would like, use CPP-O. There is not a garuntee that they will continue processing there, they might send the application instead to his home country, however, there is a better than even chance he will get processed at CPP-O.

Yes, you only need to pay the sponsor fee of $75, and the principle applicant fee of $550 to begin with. Once they are ready, the will request you pay the RPRF (right of permanent residence fee) of $475.

Be sure your husband includes his child/children in his application as non accompanying minors and the mother has them examined medically in her home country. This will ease the application process a great deal and also insure the child/childrens futures if they should ever have to come to Canada.

Good luck!

thank you very much for your clarifying !!! you really solve my puzzle. I was totally confused by the "Inland or outland" application literally. I'll try my best to fill out all the forms for the outland application, which seems to be safer for my situation. By the way, can my husband get the police certificate here in Canada or have had to be done other than Canada. Thanks again for your help!

Best,

Hey...tudo bem

My husband has tried that website, however, since his name is toooooo popular in Brazil so that he can't locate his file. according to what it says on website, he has to go to the specific police office to get the certificate done. too bad luck!

Hi,

To get the Police Reports your husband will need more than his name, so does not matter how common his name is in Brazil:

Here are the links, just in case he wants to try again:

1 - A Certidão de Antecedentes Criminais, issued by the federal police: https://servicos.dpf.gov.br/sinic-certidao/emitirCertidao.html

2 - A Certidão de Antecedentes Criminais, issued by the state authority and 3 - A Certidão de Distribuição Cíveis e Criminais, issued by the Federal Ministry of Justice. ( These two are issued by the state authority, so it will depend from which state in Brazil he had lived since he was 18 years old.

At this website he can find all the links to get all kind of certificates online from all the states in Brazil. http://www.governoeletronico.net/atestados-e-certidoes

Take a look and good luck!
