I am sponsoring my wife, she has a boy from her previous marriage but the father has full custody and give no access to the child. I am filling out the forms and we included him in the family information IMM 5406.
But in the IMM 0008 form, should we say 2 persons and include the child and tick he will not come to Canada ( we cannot have him do the medical exams as we don't have any access to him) OR do not include him in the IMM 0008 form?
Please help.

It may be best to consult a reputable and registered immigration consultant or an immigration lawyer familiar with both immigration and family law for advice specific to your situation. To find a community legal clinic in your area, visit Services Near Me.
