statement about dependent children

[spaceraceone]

I copied it from the guidelines kindly provided by Leon and I have a question below:

"If your spouse has dependent children, they must be included in the PR application, even if they are not coming to Canada. They will need to have medicals as well to keep the option open to sponsor them later. The only way that immigration will accept the application without those medicals is if the children are no longer minors and refuse to have it or if the children are in the full custody of their other parent who refuses to make them available for medicals. In that case, your spouse needs to sign a statement stating that they know that they will never be able to sponsor these children to Canada in the future."

What sort of statement is that? Is this a special form or just a letter signed and notarized?

We have this form in country-specifics:

I, the undersigned, _____________________________________________________________________
understand and accept that if I am admitted to Canada as a permanent resident, this will not oblige the
Government of Canada to grant admission to my spouse or my children whose names appear below:
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
unless they satisfy all the requirements of the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and
Regulations in effect at that time. If this condition is not fully satisfied, I understand and accept that this may
result in a permanent separation from my spouse and children.
Declared at ____________________________________ on ___________________________

IS THAT IT?

Thank you

Are the children minors? If so, this won't be enough. You'll need to prove why they could not complete the medical and why you could not complete the paperwork for them.

That is what is called a Separation Statement. I have seen a couple of versions including the one provided. There was a slightly more detailed one in the old Buffalo guide. It has to be notarized and is not a special form. You can just type it up yourself based on the template.

You should do everything possible to have the children examined and you should be prepared to provide CIC with the evidence of your attempts should worst come to worst.
