Why the need for the child's father passport pucture? It is not necessary. I have done some before and i did one last year and nowhere do they demand the pictures. It is not the case. Let commisioner for oath prepare it. Since you the mother us travelling minus the child, you have to swear the oath and sign that you are leaving the child to the father. He has agreed to take the custody of the child. Sign and send it. You will succeed.
Disclaimer:
That sounds reasonable. She will likely have to provide a certified custody agreement between herself and the child’s father.
She will also clearly draft a detailed explanation letter why the child is not accompanying her to Canada at the moment and outline if the child will be staying with his biological father or guardian.
AVO just want to be sure that the father consent to it or knows about having the child on her paperwork bcus the chance of wife bringing or sponsoring the child to Canada in future is high. AVO don’t want to be careless and keep in mind the child father can accuse her of kidnaping/taking away their child to a foreign country without his permission. The Canada system takes protection and looking at the best interest of children seriously.
It is not a safe complicated as it appears.
It is not a must. but they can still obtain it all and avoid interview where they would need it. so its case by case as to why I suggested it.
Are you not the sponsor?? So if the letter is addressed to your wife it is still a concern for your application hence you are the one who has posed the question here. So when I say YOU it means the both of you. Sponsor and applicant.
The reason why the child is not accompanying is stated in the form and she had already answered that. So now why the need for another explanation? This custody thing is simple and straightforward. Unless you want to embellish it with irrelevant stuffs. I have my 2003 copy with me. My phone camera is not working else i could send to forumites to see. By the way, we are all sharing ideas. I am not saying mine is good. Just do what pleases you who knows you may succeed in your bid.
@Cosey I know that we are all sharing info but remember the officer is not SATISFIED with initial application form the child is not accompanying is not as satisfactory as you think. They need further details.
To satisfy visa officer you need to do the following @Blackstar67
1. applicant draft the letter and clarify reasons why the child is not accompany and will live with the father in the mean time as she is attending school and do not wish to pull her from school blah blah.
2. have the commission draft affidavit to show the father is in the child life and aware of the immigration process and he consents
3. then also the evidence to show genuine relationship exits
Quick one. That explanatory letter you are talking about should be in the affidavit statement but not a letter on its own. Already you have answered why the child is not travelling with you.
Please let not get too far or with what the AVO is requesting at the moment. Based on the question posted by
Please if you can, kindly provide the OP with format/template on how to address the AVO concerns regarding this issue.
That sounds good too but keep in mind that this is 2017 not 2003. Despite it was already stated in the application form but it meant not have been properly detailed/explanated for clear understanding.
Please if you can, kindly provide the OP with format/template on how to address the AVO concerns regarding this issue.
Is the applicant not going to write a cover letter?? so the letter addresses all concerns IN THE BODY OF THE LETTER COUPLED WITH SUPPORTING DOCUCUMENT. I am not getting why you have an issue with the applicant re-iterating everything in a cover letter which is what they have to do anyways.
No,my case is different from the other guy.I got married with my wife 9 yrs ago before coming to Canada and we are blessed with a kid.We are all still together....my kid and wife reside in Nigeria while I live in canada.
Yeah, sorry my answer was actually adressed to Blackstar. But for your case, may you please show us the full email they sent to you. Just to be sure if there is not anything else than your marriage.
You're right. Sorry...

If I were you I will write a long letter with all small details as Cutie proposed. I think the doubt comes from the lack of information about the come up of this child.You should provide proof that all of you are thinking about this child ( you, your wife, and the child's father)
Below are the contents of email sent by AVO ;
I am now completing the assessment of your application for a permanent resident
visa. It appears that you may not meet the requirements of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act.
Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a
foreign national may be selected as a member of the family class on the basis of
their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other
prescribed family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Section 117(1) (a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, 2002
defines who is a member of the family class. A foreign national is a member of the
family class if, with respect to a sponsor, the foreign national is the sponsor’s
spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner;
Subsection 4(1) of the regulations, states that, for the purpose of these regulations,
no foreign national shall be considered a spouse, a common-law partner or a
conjugal partner of a person if the marriage, common-law partnership or conjugal
partnership was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or
privilege under the Act; or is not genuine.

Based on the evidence that you provided I am not satisfied that your marriage is
genuine and/or that the primary reason for the marriage is other than for the
purpose of you gaining admission to Canada. The information submitted is the
same information used to determine your DR application. With no new
information there is nothing of value to determine an ongoing bona fide
relationship exists. As a result, for the purpose of the regulations, you may not be
considered to be a member of the family class.
You have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information to
me. Please ensure that you quote the application number indicated at the top of this
letter on any information you submit.
And further, I am concerned that you have tried to circumvent the Federal Court of
Canada’s Appeal decision to NOT re-determine the DR decision, which may be
considered an abuse of process.
As stated above, you must provide any additional information within thirty days
from the date of this letter. If you choose not to respond with additional
information an officer will make a decision based on the information presented,
which may result in the refusal of your application.
Please note that submission in person will not be accepted.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Sincerely,
Immigration Section
