You have a very serious problem, as what you have just said is that you committed misrepresentation in your application for permanent residency. It is quite likely that you are ineligible to sponsor your son and perhaps your wife as well under IRPR 117(d)(9).adanac21 said:Hi to all im from Alberta I am planning to sponsor my wife and son this month. My problem is that I did not declare my son on my papers before, because we were not married before I went here in Canada. I went back to marry my wife a year after. The question is can I sponsor them to come here? Thank you
When you signed your COPR, they asked you if you had any undeclared family. Under Canadian law, your child was certainly family. If you had lived with your (now) wife for 12 months prior to your landing date then she was also family on the basis of a common-law relationship.
The effect then is that your son (and perhaps your wife) are excluded as members of the family class. Further, your own PR may be subject to investigation for misrepresentation.
My advice: find a qualified immigration attorney. Do not use a consultant, as you should only discuss this under the auspices of attorney/client privilege.
