Sponsoring Dependent Child ONLY

[psingh]

Hi

Myself and my wife got our PR in 2007 and moved to canada premanently  in Jan 2009 . We had a baby in 2008 in US who was not listed in our PR application as dependent. Now my daughter is also with us in Canada without a visa being a US citizen. Now I want to file for her PR too to make things easier for us but not able to figure out the exact forms for it. We are in Surrey, BC. and I am working on a permanent job in a bank .

I checked canada immigration website but they have forms for family class within canada but there is no specific form to just sponsor the kids. The IMM 1344A form has spouse column and under that there is dependent children  plus it needs the sponsored applicants signs which is not possible in my case. But my wife already has PR so only my kid needs it. It will be great if you can provide me the exact forms to be filled for this.

Plus do I need to get the medical done for my daughter and collect the completed form IMM1017SCLE from the doctor or will it be sent by the doctor himself.

For the application fee I know there is $75 for sponsorship and $150 for child but do I need to give the $475 for principle application too as myself or my wife are not getting ourself sponsored.

Please guide me on this I will really appreciate that.

Thanks

Singh

This application package is for Canadian citizens and permanent residents who wish to sponsor:

    * a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner; or
    * dependent children

The application will be processed for your child, a US citizen, through Buffalo.  There is no inland application for a dependent child, unless they're accompanying a spousal applicant.  I'm not entirely sure, but I think your child will be the principle applicant ($475) . . . someone can correct me if I'm wrong.  I think the $150 accompanying dependent fee would be only if, for example, your wife was the principle applicant and the child an accompanying dependent. 

Yes, she will need to undergo a medical exam, you will take the Appendix C form from the Region Specific forms to the DMP when she goes for the exam.  Make sure the DMP knows that the application will not be processed within Canada, so he should give you a copy of the correct form to submit with the application as proof that the exam was done.  The DMP will send the results to the Regional Medical Centre in Ottawa himself, and Buffalo will request them from the RMC when they're ready to review them.

Dear Mr P Singh,

I hope by now your child must have immigrated to Canada. I have a similar situation with the difference that my child is born in India. My wife and I have PR status. I am already going through the documents of dependent child under age of 22 immigration under family class. Could you share with me your experience of processing your child application under family class immigration?

I am more interested in the forms that you had filled and skipped as part of sponsor and sponsored steps of your child's immigration.

Here is my understanding about the documents -

Sponsor -
Sponsorship Application - it would be filled by me. My wife is not undersigning the application.
Sponsorship Evaluation - in case I had migrated under Federal Class Skilled Worker with my wife as dependent, what would be my obligation count in this form
Sponsorship Agreement - not required to be filled
Sponsorship Questionnaire - not required to be filled
Statuary Declaration - not required to be filled
Medical Condition - not required to be filled

Sponsored -
Application form - to be filled by me.
Background check form - not required to be filled.
Additional Family Information - not required to be filled.

If there are forms from above list which needs to be filled and requires signature of dependent child who is primary applicant, then how did you handle the situation.

Please advise.

Thanks!
