Dear Seniors member,
I have a little bit of situation here. I got ITA on 16th draw and I need to submit medical exam for my non accompanying dependents. The problem is, my ex wife refused to give permission for my children to take medical exam. I separated with my wife more than a year ago here in Canada and we had separation agreement legalized by two lawyers (mine and hers). It is stated in the separation agreement that she has full custody for both my children.
I read somewhere in this forum that given the circumstances I am having right now. I can make an affidavit in front of Public Notary or Commissioner for oath that I am excluding my children from the requirement to do medical exam and I am fully aware that by doing so I will never be able to sponsor them anytime in the future. I would also need to write a letter of explanation (LOE) to CIC about my situation and to ask them to process my application based on its own merit.
My questions are:
1. Anyone had the same thing with me and successfully went through the whole PR application process. If yes, could you please share your experience. It will be really appreciated
2. I am not sure what to write in my affidavit. Should I call an Immigration lawyer and have them draft one for me.
3. Will the CIC reject my application, regardless of what I said in my affidavit
4. Should I call Lawyer right away and let them handle my entire case.
It has been a really difficult time for me so any help/advice/suggestion/information would be really appreciated..
Thank you in advance
