Good day! Would gladly appreciate your help and your immediate response about my intention to adopt a newly born baby from the Philippines to give the child a bright future? Actually the parent is a relative of mine. Is this possible although i already forwarded my P.R. application to Canada Immigration last 23January2013?

Thank you for your time.

You can adopt the child, but then the child must be added to your application. As well, the visa officers will verify that the adoption is genuine - you will have to prove you want to really be the child's parent. Your relative has to give up all parental rights. If CIC thinks you just want to give the child a better life, the visa will be refused.
 
Hi CanadianWoman and Hi Everyone!

Appreciate your response to my problem re: above subject.

To CanadianWoman, do you mean I can still submit additional application paper to Can Immigration to include the baby as one of my immediate family members considering she will be my daughter to be? The baby will be born this June and the parent will put my name directly to the child's birth certificate since mother is single mom and is really not capable to raise her child.

Looking forward to your response on this matter. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can add the child to your application. In fact, once you adopt her you must tell CIC and add her. This will delay your application a bit. The adoption must also be a formal legal adoption. I suggest contacting the Canadian embassy right away and asking for advice.
 
Hi Canadian Woman,

Once again, thank you for your reply. I feel at ease now knowing it could be possible for me
 
Having your name on the birth certificate might cause serious problems. Firstly, it might be considered as fraud and secondly it might be an impediment to you formally adopting as they would ask why you need to adopt "your own child". A DNA test might be requested..
 
A DNA test will be conducted for children she cannot put your name on birth certificate its fraud you are going to adopt the baby so no need to lie and cause confusion always deal with cic truthful
 
I'll just add that you cannot actually add the baby to your application until after the adoption has been completely finalized.
