New born in USA (after Landing in Canada)

[hopetogetpr]

Does anyone know the process of getting PR for a new born to parents who have landed in Canada, but stayed out of Canada (in USA) for a year immediately after landing (the child was born during this time)? Both parents have landed in Canada and so are officially permanent residents. The baby was born in USA, so is a US citizen.

Can the baby go to Canada along with Canadian PR parents as a visitor (US citizens do not need Canadian visitor visa?) and then the PR parents can apply for PR for the baby once in Canada under family class?

Any idea about time-lines if the above process is correct?

Hi,

Yes, no need for visa for your child born in USA.To travel between the US and Canada, you will need to obtain a US passport for your child. While landing at the Canadian airport, you may need to fill up some forms  with the Immigration Officer.
Then while you are in Canada you can sponsor your child and regularize the status.
