My common law has been approved to sponsor me for me to obtain my pr here in Canada. CIC has sent me a letter saying that my pr application is being processed but they need my sons birth certicate and a medical for him so they can proceed. My son lives with his mother in Germany and I am not planning to bring him here. Why do I need to provide birth certificate and medical when I expressed on my application that I do not have plans to bring him here. Please help.
