Hi i have similar situation as you. I applied for my sons proof of canadian citizenship as well and will be sponsoring my husband. I believe we have to declare our son even if you are not sponsoring him.

Your son can enter Canada on his Israeli passport. Note that you may have issues getting him provincial healthcare until he has proof of Canadian citizenship.

I applied for my sons proof of citizenship in May 2015. Still in process at the same time i would like to sponsor my husband. Do we still include our son as non accompanying dependent ? And still has to undergo medical examination? My son is born in the Philippines and I have been living in Canada for 3 months now with a stable job.

This is what i got for cic, hope this will help.

in the paragraph 117 (9)(d) of the Immigration and refugee Protection Regulations excludes from future sponsorship any foreign national who is not declared/examined at the time his/her prospective spinsor applies for and obtains permanent residence. If you (or any of your family members) fails to declare and present for examination any family member as defined by the Regulations, then u (or ur family member) will not be able to sponsor that undeclared family member at a later dater as a member of the family class.

Subsection 1(3) of the Regulations defines "family member" in respect of a person as (a) the spouse or commin -law partner of the person; (b) a dependent child of the person or of the person's spouse or common law partner; and (c) a dependent child of a dependent child referred to in paragraph.

All family members, whether or not they are accompanying you to Canada, MUST be declared and presented for examination to assess whether they are admissible to Canada. A false declaration on your IMM5406 (additonal family information form), any failure to declare a family member, or failure to present a "family member" for examination may be found to constitute misrepresentation and may render you inadmissible to Canada

Ok thank you for the quick response.

One more question. My husband has another son with his ex gf and they are not in good terms. We are 100 percent sure she will not let his son undergo medical examination. What requirements do we need to provide proof that she will not cooperate? We also understand that in this case his son will never be sponsored in the future without doing his medical.

I don't think you husband other son had to do a medical unless he his accompanying your husband to Canada. Your husband just has to add his name on the additional family information form. That way if your husband had to sponsor him in the future theres is proof to immirgration that he was added to your husband immigration records from the get go, so only if he coming with you husband to Canada will he have to undergo a medical exam. But regardless / that son must be added to that particular form regardless of where the son lives /very important

Good luck

@crowlie - The comments on 117(9)(d) is not relevant to a dependent that is already eligible for Canadian Citizenship.

@needhimback - However, it is extremely relevant to the case of the child by the ex-girlfriend. The child must be medically examined as a dependent during the parent's application for permanent residence, even if non-accompanying. No examination, no future sponsorship...
There are many threads in this forum that cover this situation, so please research it further.

@zardoz i did more research and your right we still need to convince the mom for his son to do his medical. However what if she doesnt want him to undergo medical examination?

In that situation, CIC will eventually allow you to forfeit any possibility of sponsorship of the son in the future by signing a declaration acknowledging that he is excluded from the Family Class. It will be a battle to convince CIC to allow this but it can be done.
