This is what I talked about non-routine cases, it is unclear to CIC that those children are not sponsor's children, you guys will inform then now, allow me to say that. They will be surprised to hear that they're not his/her kids I am sure, then they might request for additional docs. The sponsor should have written a cover letter with much details explaining to CIC how he is related to those kids. I have few quotes already for the sponsor. He/she should print those forms they requested and fill them, he/she needs to find birth certificate for those kids otherwise it will slow down your file. At the moment they stopped working on your file until you respond with everything CIC wants.CharisseyB said:I need your help guys! Anyone, please anyone for advise!!! :-\ :-\ :-\

Here is what the Canadian law says:
5.18. Orphaned relatives:
Orphaned relatives may be sponsored provided that they are under 18 years of age, unmarried and not in a common-law relationship and are the sponsors brother or sister, nephew or niece or grandchild. (R117(1)(f)).
In all cases of orphaned relatives, officers must request written consent of the appropriate authorities in the country of residence of the child, before the child may be removed from that country. Written consent of any legal guardians must also be obtained.Service aux garants et aux candidats à l'immigration may approve "engagements" for orphans on receipt of a positive recommendation from a Centre Jeunesse. The Centre Jeunesse does a home study before making a recommendation.
7.3. Processing orphaned relatives:
When an application is received from an orphaned relative, the visa office must: verify that the child is an orphan, under 18 years of age on the date CPC-M received the IMM 1344EA including correct and complete cost recovery (processing) fees, is unmarried and not a common-law partner, and is related to the sponsor as set out in R117(1)(f);
Adoption of convenience:
In the case of an adoption of convenience, the officer refuses the application on the basis of R4 and explain in a refusal letter that the applicant does not comply with the definition of “adopted” and is not a member of the family class.R117(1)(g)(i) provides the basis for refusal if the sponsorship is for a child whom the sponsor intends to adopt in Canada.
