Doc's Request.

AOR Received.
25-05-2010 CIO/ 26-09-2010 VISA Office
I have submitted my application to CIO on 18 March 2010. Application signed for on 23 March. Credit card charged on 16 April with processing fee. Have all documents ready in accordance with Visa Office requirements (Damascus). I am the principal applicant and my application includes my sppuse and our two children. In the section relating to children's information required, the checklist of information mentions we have to provide "Proof of custody for children under the age of 18 and proof that the children may be removed from the jurisdiction of the court"...

My question is whether we need to provide proof of custody for both children given that:
(a) my spouse and I are the childrens' natural parents and appear on both childrens' birth certificates as the parents, and
(b) both children and my spouse are included on the application form to accompany me to Canda should be be accepted.

You don't need it as you are sponsoring the spouse as well. It is only for separated or divorced couples with children.
