Hi, my husband is sponsoring his 17-year-old daughter from India. He has no whereabouts on his ex wife's current location. So, the document check list says "if you are unable to provide the IMM5604 Declaration from non-accompanying parent for minor, provide a detailed explanation. Can anyone help on what exactly he should be mentioning to the immigration officer and does that application stand a chance for approval? Thank you for throwing some light on this.
Hi guys,
We received the PPR for our son on Saturday, 13th Feb 2021.
Just FYI, VFS global is not accepting the passports in offices, instead its being managed by pick and drop from home. (Atleast for Pune, Inida)
Thank you all for your support and updates during this long and tiring wait.
Wish you all PPRs soon! Good Luck!

Hello everyone!
Are there any pinoys here? I just have a quick question regarding PDOS. Do you have to attend PDOS in person or you can opt for an Online Certificate? Please advise.
Thank you in advance. God bless!

Hi, my wife and I are sponsoring her teenage daughter under similar circumstances. The biological father is nowhere to be found. Although the application is still in progress, the immigration consultant with whom we are working told us to provide a letter in lieu of the IMM5604 that describes the circumstances of how the father abandoned the family and how he has provided no financial support to the child. We also described, in brief, our efforts to locate the biological father but we were unable to do so.
Since the application is still pending, I can't say if what we did will work, but the consultant says it is sufficient. I think absent parents are, sadly, common enough that IRCC understands that it happens. So long as you provide the letter, it should be enough.
As an aside, I was told that you should do your best to ensure that the mother of your step-daughter does not find out about her PR application. Apparently, even if the parent is absent for the totality of the child's life, if they find out about the child immigrating to Canada, they can cause a lot of issues for you, even to the point of demanding that you sponsor the absent parent, too! Once your step-daughter is landed and has her CoPR, then there is nothing the biological mother can do.
@OrangeBunny provided some comments. Those are definitely things you can/should do. But I think it's unclear whether you can count upon this working.
What you would really want is some legal decision or document declaring the father the sole guardian - or equivalent wherever you are. This will depend on the locality and possibility of actually getting this concluded; in many jurisdictions this would mean attempting to contact the spouse, public notices, etc. (Obviously if the father does not currently reside with the child, that may make things more different).
You might also wish to apply for TRV for the child. If she gets approved (chances may actually be quite low), at least she would be with the family while this plays out.
But: you do not say the exact age. As soon as she turns 18, IRCC will no longer require this permission. It may be a bit chancey to apply before she turns 18 but given processing times, it may be a moot point by the time she actually gets considered for exact eligibility and final approval.
Personally if no legal docs are feasiblle, I would proceed as suggested above - explain that the mother is not around, all of the other points; possibly petition/start the process to at least attempt to get sole legal guardianship (although I know nothing of the process in India); and refer explicitly to age of the child and that you anticipate she will be a legal adult by the time the application is approved.
Note: this is not a guarantee it won't be rejected. But an IRCC officer may decide it's not worth rejecting on that basis since it will be a non-issue in a short period of time.
@armoured makes a really good point. I totally neglected to mention that my wife does have a legal document that revokes guardianship from the father. That was an egregious omission on my part. That all happened many years before I met my wife, so I guess it just didn't occur to me.
Warning: based on this I have to revoke what I wrote above. I honestly do not know whether IRCC would accept an application without this form OR the legal guardianship. Obviously when the kid is 18 it's still fine.
I am paying for the medical insurance as my employer does not provide family medical insurance...
too costly...
let me know if you find anything about this...
Did you get any update after medical? Is status changed to medical passed? Is final decision made on TRV?
Yes status of medical was changed to pass on 16th Jan...but no update after that in TRV file....
I got decision made n ppr in PR file.
