Sponsoring an Undeclared Family to Immigrate to Canada

Hello Sharon,

I want to seek some advice regarding sponsoring an undeclared Family.

My husband went to Canada as a PR years ago. He was single that time when his application was processed. 3 years after that, we got married outside Canada however He did not declare our marriage in Canada, latter on I delivered a child and also he did not declare his dependant child when he applied for his Canadian citizenship

Our child uses his father's surname and he has a birth certificate, it is mentioned in that certificate the father name and the mother name.

Today we are willing to live together as a family in Canada.

My question, is it possible to declare our marriage and our child and sponsor us to live in Canada as unified family, since he did not declare us before in his citizenship application.

Our child was born one year before the father got his citizenship.

Does that declaration affect his citizen status in Canada.

Please do help me because we really want to settle in Canada as one family. It is difficult in my part, that the father live and work in a separate country just to support us financially. It is also difficult for our child to grow up without his father presence in the most curtails stage of his development.

Please help me.

Thanks.
Charli
