Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024
- Thread starter dav 3333
- Start date
Maybe just a system update IRCC sometimes sends another pre-arrival email automatically when your file is reviewed again. It usually means your application is still active and moving forward, so nothing to worry about. Is your application inland or Outland?
Just to share the timeline for my kid, inland application, she is studying in PS with visitor record.

Hi everyone, we are sponsoring our daughter. this is her timeline so far.
Family Class Sponsorship - Inland Application
Application submitted 16 June 2025
Application Returned 15 July 2025 ( Reason is we uploaded our COPR instead of the PR card )
Reapplied 22 July 2025
AOR 29 August 2025
Medical Request 29 August 2025
Sponsorship Eligibility Letter 29 August 2025
Medical Completed 29 August 2025
Medical Passed 30 August 2025
Pre Arrival Letter Received Nov 06, 2025
Final Decision in GC Key now: "November 6, 2025 Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made."
We can see her COPR number in the application tracker portal.
Can you estimate or tell from your experience how long it may take her to receive the Portal 1 ?
She entered into Canada on 25 May, 2025. Its almost 6 months. I have to apply to extend her visitor record/permit as 6 month duration is almost over.

Please let us know if you receive P1 recently. I think it is very soon, based on what I've seen from other posts, it shall be like a few days to two weeks to get P1 after Final Decision.
From P1 to P2, it takes another month.

Thank you. That helps give me an idea of where ours would be. Please keep me updated on your progress if you can.
I didn't get any AOR email yet but I was able to link the application in gckey today using name and passport details.
Hi all: in 117(9)(d), the sponsor previously made an application for permanent residence and became a permanent resident, and at the time of that application, the foreign national was a non-accompanying family member of the sponsor and was not examined.
Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"? Does it mean the time of my first application for permanent residence?
. Background
I submitted my immigration application to Canada in 2009 and was issued my visa in October 2010.
My biological son was born out of wedlock. He was born in January 2011,
while I had booked my flight a year in advance, which was scheduled for February 2011.
Considering that my son was a newborn baby who urgently needed his mother’s care, and given the various constraints at the time,
The only choice available to me was to land in Canada first and, once I had arranged everything and all conditions were ready,
Submit a family sponsorship immigration application for him so that I can bring him to Canada.
Because of my lack of understanding of Canada’s immigration procedures, I failed to declare my newborn's information promptly before landing,
As a result, my son was denied a visa by a visa officer under IRPR 117(9)(d), even though he had already received and completed the medical examination and biometrics required by IRCC.
The visa officer considers: the sponsor(me) did not declare my newborn's information before my first landing.

You are correctly refused. You should have landed before your child was born. (may be a soft landing and return for the child birth)
Now you cannot sponsor him under normal family class sponsorship. May be a lawyer can help you to convince IRCC that they can allow you to sponsor him with compassion to the situation.
