Hi

They have to be under 22 at the time of application and if they are over 22 must have been in full time education since turning 22. Cannot be married or in a Common/law relationship.

Hi,

My OH has a daughter (from another relationship), shes now 21 we have
been advised that we will have to name her on the visa application, but we will have to enclose a letter stating that my OH has no intention of sponsoring her in the future........she`s already told us to f*** *** to Canada!!!!!......... so that just proves to us what kind of person she`s turning out to be!!!

If she's the daughter of a previous relationship, is your OH named on the birth certificate?? If not then I dont think you have to even mention her as shes not officially his child. May not be the case at all but worth mentioning

BTW she may think you are the bad guys for f****** off to Canada, rather than her turning into any particular kind of person. I had some friends who thought they were being rejected when we moved away, so maybe....

That is how I read the information too... You have to include their details, but they then have to apply separately. I think it is easier because you are there, but that is all.

Hi Daft batty,

Nope my OH is not named on her birth cert, but on saying that he had a DNA test done many years ago, which proved that she was his........however we have been told that because the DNA test was done and there is paperwork somewhere to prove this, that we will have to name her on the application, even though my OH has no intention of sponsoring her in the future!

As for for her personality, well thats another storey......which I dont care to discuss. All I can say is that we have asked the question and we have to declare her so to speak!! She does not venture any further than our local town, so I could not see her wanting to emigrate to Canada with a father and step mother along with 2 half sisters that she has never been involved with in any shape or form over the last 21+ years!!!!

We just want to make sure that we have covered every angle in the progress of our move.........if it means she has to be mentioned then so be it, we would not like to move out to Canada without mentioning her only to find that we could possibly be refused PR further down the line because we failed to mention her at the beginning.....if you see what I mean?

Regards
Sue

Hello there,
I know exactly what you are going through except for us it was our son!! (he's 19) Long story but family said he could stay in UK. We decided to keep him on the application so he could come over should he change his mind, you have been told correctly, if you keep your step daughter on the application, she will have to have her medical. (my son had his May 2008) and yes if you leave her off the application she will have to apply in her own right should she change her mind in the future. We had to consider all the said options too.
We landed in Canada February 08 and our son then realized he had made the wrong decision and is awaiting his residency permit so he can come and join us! Kids eh?
Hope the decision you make is the right one for you and your family. Best wishes, Wendy
