What special condition must be met by persons sponsoring a child adopted outside Canada, a child to be adopted in Canada or an orphaned relative?
If you are sponsoring an orphaned relative, a child you have adopted or in the process of adopting outside Canada, or a child you intend to adopt in Canada, you will have to satisfy the visa office that you have obtained good and reliable information about the childs health status before a permanent resident visa may be issued to that child. You may obtain this information from authorities in the country of adoption, through an independent medical examination or from the childs immigration medical record. Once you have obtained the information with respect to the childs medical condition, read the Medical Condition Statement provided with Appendix A, complete the bottom portion, sign it and send it to the visa office processing the permanent residence application submitted on behalf of the child.
