Family on PR status, wants to add child born outside Canada

[Sajeev]

I and my family PR card holders except one child who was born outside Canada.  We are living in Canada.  The infant is on a Temporary Resident Visa status.  I now want to add the infant to PR status.  

Can someone please advise on the procedure for doing this?

Any feedback will be appreciated!

Regards,

Anyone tell me conditions if a PR holder gets her PR card leaves canada and then has a child outside canada.  What paperwork will she have to go through after birth?  please help.

If you've already recieved your PR status and landed in Canada, you will have to now Sponsor the new child.

If the child was born prior to your landing in Canada, hopefully you told the officers about the child or the child will be considered Excluded and therefore no longer part of the family class. If not declared, you will not be able to sponsor the child.

Best of luck.

Thanks TaaDew the baby is due in May/June.  I received an email from cic to say that coz we are not married and dad is not a canadian citizen I will have to go and sponsor both of them whilst in canada?  Do i need extra paperwork or possiblity they will allow me to go with the child.
