undeclared dependent by husband

[sambri]

Hi.. I'd like to consult my child's situation regarding a sponsorship by his father. His dad is a permanent resident of Canada since 2011, he and his parents were sponsored by his brother. During their application, me and his dad are not living together and not yet married and we had a child which is 3 years old now. My son is using his father's last name, and we actually have a good relationship with him and he's the one providing our needs as what most fathers do. But the thing is, when they were sponsored by his brother, they did not declare my son as his dependent child. It was processed as "single without qualifying dependent", so my child's name was not included on his application papers this is because during that time, he is already over 22 but he is still studying and still a dependent of his brother, and they have this fear that if they would include our name, it !
might affect the process and might be declined and they were thinking that he may not be included as qualified dependent of his brother because he already have a child though his brother is still the one supporting him in his study. And now he was planning to sponsor our child and I, but it shows on the Canadian immigration website that my son is not qualified to be sponsored because he was not examined during his dad's application, and was not declared under family class. I'd like to seek for advice on what is the best thing we can do so that he could sponsor us both.

We got married here in the Philippines last year. and i am 2 weeks pregnant before he went to canada and gave birth last year. will he be able to sponsor me? If yes, will I be able to sponsor our child in the future since he is my qualified dependent? can he apply for a tourist visa for our 3 years old child?

Thank you and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. God bless..

I hope I'm wrong, but I think that he will never be able to sponsor you or the child.
There are two reasons I suspect this..

1) an undeclared dependant
2) misrepresentation.

I'm sorry for your situation.

Unfortunately your three year old child cannot be sponsored by your husband as part of your application because he failed to declare him as a dependent when he himself was sponsored. If your husband sponsors you - you will not be able to sponsor your three year old child at a later date either.

I only see one option: You need to qualify to immigrate to Canada independently (e.g. through the skilled worker, skilled trades or one of the provincial nominee streams) and include your children in this application. I believe this is the only way you will be able to migrate to Canada together with your children.

If your husband files any kind of sponsorship application, he could put his own PR status at risk for failing to declare his son when he immigrated. This is misrepresentation.
