I submitted my PR skilled federal application in December 2004. Also, I
will become a father to a child in June this year; however I'm not sure
whether I'll marry the mother or not. We aren't common-law neither.
Question: do I have to list the newborn as my child while not listing
the mother? Or, can I list both of them (should we eventually marry),
but declare that they won't accompany me in Canada? It's a mess.
Finally: what are the "alimony" consequences if I list the woman as my
dependent? We both live in an European country at present. Can she
contact Canadian courts afterwards and seek Canadian alimony for the
kid? (Because they were listed as my dependents?) I'm still young and
penniless and such a request would completely break me financially. I
don't intend to shirk my parental responsibilites however I have to
know what's at stake. Thanks
