we never declared a child on my wifes application for permanent res

[amikety]

I think the only thing he can do is not declare that his kids are his kids. If he immigrated here as a single person then went back to the Philippines and met and married his wife then they could just claim that her kids are from another father. He would have to then adopt his own kids. More lies but I don't see any other way.

More lies that will lead into deeper trouble.

Not to mention he sponsored his wife, and so the instant they tried to declare one of HER kids, her permanent residency would also come into question.

There's just no way he can sponsor his kids.

I don't think he has sponsorerd his wife yet has he? He came here as part of a family immigration application on which he was declared single. For all intents and purposes he was single. He had a girlfriend he knocked up a few times. After a year he went back to the Philippines and got married. His now wife has 3 kids that are his biologically.
Hypothectically I don't know why he couldn't adopt his own kids. Understanding that the authorities are unaware they are biologically his. Granted I am unfamiliar with what kind of disclosure you have to give on immigration forms. I do, however, recognize the legal and moral implications of generating a lie.
Lies have short legs. They can only run so far.

Where does this idea fall short?

The kids carry his family name. VO finds out. There is one guy from May 2012 Manila applicant whose sponsorship was rejected based on the same reason (minus children).

I think he's better off to do the sponsorship for the wife and kids, get the rejection on the kids, then fight it on appeal on H&C grounds. That's just my opinion and requires no lying or white lies. A lawyer would be the good idea though. He's at risk for losing his PR no matter which way he goes about this.

To adopt his own kids, he would need to provide birth certificates. That might give him away. Same way if he sponsors them as "step-kids." He could try getting his wife a skilled job in Canada so she can get her PR that way and bring the kids on her own but their birth certificates will still be needed.........

Lawyer.............then plead confusion and beg for a second chance.

The best option is always to be honest and beg forgiveness. Your advice here is best logically.
You can, for the right price, get anyone to do anything in the Philippines.

He says in the first sentence that he sponsored his wife to come to Canada and when he did so they didn't declare the child. Has he made other posts somewhere that I've missed where he explains it more clearly?

His daughter turns 18 in three months, I don't know about laws in the Philippines but wouldn't you not be able to adopt an adult?

Didn't I read that his daughter is almost 18? Perhaps, he should divorce his wife and marry his daughter!! ;D ;D

Come on people, this whole thread is absurd! I have no sympathy for people who are dishonest and fail to declare their family fully as it is.
