Hello, I am new on this forum. MY POST WOULD BE LONG, BUT HOPING TO FIND SOME GUIDANCE.
My mom came to Canada first and then became citizen. Years later, she was able to bring me and my Dad and we are now all Citizens. When me and Dad were still in the Philippines, (while mom was working in Canada), my dad made the biggest mistake of his life. He had a one night stand to a lady and they had a child which is my half sister. My half sister is now 8 years old and still in the Philippines. But ever since she was born, it was me and my dad who took care of her because her mom doesn't have a financial capability to sustain her. Her mom never cares about her. In fact her mom has now her own family. My Dad didn't declare my half sister when we first arrived to Canada because of the fear the he might lose his PR.
To make the story short, Canada has a new Pilot Project for Undeclared Child. My dad would like to sponsor my half sister so we can all be together here. We have already contact the Lady and she agrees about sponsorship. She is okay to bring my half sister here in Canada to have a good future, she said she will sign all the documents needed. In fact, we are half way through the papers. What we have is the following:
1) IMM5604 DECLARATION OF NON ACCOMPANYING PARENT/GUARDIAN
2) Affidavit of Custody
3) Affidavit of Consent to Travel
All of those documents were signed by her mother and Notarized. All Immigration forms needed to be sign by her mother were all signed too.
My question is, Would that be good enough as documents proving that her Mother has no objections on bringing my half sister here in Canada? Would that Affidavit of Custody enough or is FULL LEGAL CUSTODY FROM COURT needed?
Any same case as ours? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
