Hi. What will I do if I didn’t declare my son because our application was almost done and we’re just waiting for our visa when I got pregnant. And he’s only 1 month old since I left him in the Philippines. I’m a permanent resident here in Calgary and a teenage mom. I just arrived here since April 2015… How can I sponsor my son? ;( Any information is much appreciated.
