I am a citizen, my wife is a PR since April. She had a child from a previous relationship in her home country that we are now trying to sponsor.
We do have a couple of issues. Our 2018 income was very low as I had been out of the country for over a decade, but our taxes are current.
The biggest problem is that we were unable to get the form for the child’s father filled out as he is not from either of our countries, and has never acknowledged or supported his child in any manner. We did include a letter of explanation.
The child had a medical done for my wife’s PR application so we included that.
I was able to link the application to GCKey after many attempts and combinations that I can’t recall.
The application was received on Nov. 12, 2019.
We got an email requesting Biometric fees which we paid and sent the receipt of through the webform, which was acknowledged in another email.
Now we wait.
