Statutory declaration for exempting non-accompanying dependent child from application

[iRayy]

Hello,

App Received: Oct 2020
Medical Request: Apr 2021

I have received medical request for my non-accompanying dependent child who is living with my ex wife. After several email conversations over 5 months, I still could not get my ex-wife to take him for medical examination. With two extensions approved from IRCC, I finally had submitted all the conversations as a proofs that I'm not able to obtain my non-accompanying dependent child's medical examination report and requested for an exemption. In response, I received a statutory declaration form to forfeit my right to sponsor my non-accompanying dependent child in future which I signed, notarized and submitted.
My questions:

1. Does this mean my request to exclude my non-accompanying dependent child has been approved or is it just a form to request for exclusion? Reason I ask this is, my ex-wife did not oppose to get his medical exam done, she just mentioned she is not able to do it, I wonder if this is strong enough statement for exclusion
2. When I applied the application, my ex-wife and our son were in India but now they have moved to US on work visa. Provided that I have already submitted the declaration form a month ago, if I can get them take the medical exam now, can I still send the report to void my forfeit of future sponsorship for him?
3. Do I need to communicate their movement to US through a webform?

Forfeiting future sponsorship opportunity for my son had put me in emotional stress and my application into complex case category (I guess). Appreciate any support to help this phase pass through. Thanks.

I think this is possible as long as the application isn’t finalized. Only downside is delays, but it’s not like you have another option. It’s better to have your son be admissible than not. You should contact IRCC and inform them that your son can take the medical now and you would like to change things. (Just make sure your son will actually take it).

Do I need to communicate their movement to US through a webform?

Yes, as part of the same webform where you explain why your son is now able to do the medical exam.

Not sure specifically if it means it was approved. But you should make a decision on whether you want to include your son, make sure he will do the test and talk to him about that, and then contact IRCC telling them what’s above.

Best if luck!

Thanks for your response, DimT44.

Neither ECAS nor GCKey shows any clue about anything happening. I'm waiting for past 65 days for GCMS from IRCC to find out at what step is the application. Since I did not get any response, couple of days back I applied for GCMS from CBSA who have a track record of servicing GCMS requests within the timeframe most of the time, hopefully it gives an idea where my application is. I will wait for it to come because from the past experience, for each communication from VO, it is taking exactly 3 months and I don't want to reset that clock by providing additional information when the officer is about to make a decision. In the meantime, I will collect all the details from my ex-wife and son and keep it ready so once I receive GCMS notes, I might be able to decide based on where in the process my application is currently.
As much as I hated to exclude him from the application, its unfair to my wife (sponsor) as we are not able to start a life in Canada as I'm not eligible to work, provincial health insurance or driving license. But thanks for the advise.

Yes, as part of the same webform where you explain why your son is now able to do the medical exam.

Will send it right away once I get hold of their address in US

Ok, thanks. Do you know if there are any more steps pending or will it be the last? I remember reading security check will start only after the medical report is approved but in my case I submitted my medical report in April, it was just my son's medical exam was pending. Would that mean my background check would have already been complete and its pending only on my son's medical?

Thanks!

Do I need to update my non accompanying child's new address even if excluding from the application? Would submitting a web form delay the application in anyway?

Would any one know? Any guidance will be of great help.

Hi we are in the similar situation. I was wondering if this is the form you filled out IMM 5704 E?
And did you also provide letter of explanation?
Thank you
