Oh no, why is he screwed??? :( (please please let Gremmie be joking about again!!:rofl:)

My ex does see our son...although it isn't set in stone (no court order etc) as ex is in the Navy and isn't always about. I'll go and have a search on what I need to do. I have already mentioned it to him so he does know our plans....He has a girlfriend from Brazil now so I was hoping he sods off there which will make it easier for me. :lol:

I am not fully aware of the details but what I can gather was that the real father lived locally and saw the kids as and when he wanted/suited himself. As for visitation he was permitted every second weekend.
Once he heard that they were moving to Germany for a year until my mate left the army he immediately went to a lawyer to stop it. It seems that if he is the father then you must get his permission first or prove that you have no contact with the real father or you are not permitted to import the child (I know import isnt the right way in putting it, but I couldnt think of any thing else:rofl:)
I have read threads on the main forum reference this so there are people who have done it and jumped through all the hoops. Id suggest you ask on the main Canadian forum that is where you will get the experienced advice much better than my rants and the one armed swiss army knife welding bandits guessing!
Anything else then I am sure there are guys and gals on here to help
Good luck

OK
But I do not have any experience of this. Iam sure that your experience will be considerably different from someone taking a child out of the UK where a father will have access and does he pay maintenance in the UK? will he have to pay it in Canada, all of these and much more would be better coming from someone who has been through the legal hoops etc!

Reference the Army postings. One letter to the RMP will cover places like Bosnia, Kosovo etc I had the address for the german one somewhere, however Davie Mac gave me the info, I suggest that you PM Davie Mac and he will forward it to you.
Dont panic, it is better to find out now! and you can get the info and get the ball rolling before it is to late, rather than turning up at the Airport with the wrong information likely to result in you being refused entry!

Hi all

Anyone know what options could be open to OH as he is not registered with a GP. I read somewhere that he has to have a drug test or a letter from his GP saying there is no history of drug use but he never registered with a doc when he left the Army in 2001. His medical docs are still with the MOD.

Any advice please?

Thanks

Not always so with the medical! Some insist on getting a medical before arrival to ensure there are no obvious surprises then when you are past as fit they can pay for your flight, offer a job, start paperwork etc. It is common sense that the company are spending time and money on you so they want to cover the bases first!
Some even insist in you taking a UK Cat C medical before you go!
This will obviously need to be seen and assessed by Canadian Medics for insurance and medical cover etc

Sut mae nice to meet you. Just remember that Canada classes all children as dependents until they are 22 years old. You have to include all children yours, his and joint on all application forms whether they are joining you or not. You must supply medicals for kids over 18 and letters from the other parent that they know you are coming to Canada and they give permission for you to take them out of the country (if moving permanently with you). If you do not aknowledge the kids and add them on the forms they will not be able to gain residency in Canada in the future. There is a link somewhere and when I find it I'll send it to you. :thumbup:
