Hi everyone
I need some advise. I am primary applicant . I applied as inland applicant for PR. My wife was dependent on my file. We both got copr and visas stamped in September . I have done my landing in September, landed as PR.
My wife has to postpone her landing as she was pregnant at that time . In October we got daughter. Now I am aware that I have to sponser my daughter but can my wife do her landing and then go back to home country to take care of baby ?
Second thing if she cannot do her landing can I add new born baby to her file as dependent ?
Appreciate all help

Hi

No, your wife cannot land now that the child is born. You need to sponsor your wife and include the child as a dependent.

Thanks for reply .
Now when I first called ircc the agent said my wife can do her landing but I have to sponser my daughter . Second time they gave me same answer. Third time when I called they said regarding my wife landing , responsible office will contact me for further instructions. It has been 1 month nobody contacted me.
I guess sponsoring both will only be the option now. Have to be separated from family for another 2 years or more less

Your wife cannot land with an undeclared dependent.

The app shouldn't take more than a year, likely less.

You didn't need to tell CBSA. She can land without issue.

We received letter requesting to submit the passports to issue PR. I would appreciate if you advise me on the following issue.
Me and my wife are in our country and can submit our passports to the embassy but my two children are student in Canada and they are busy with their study there. My question is if they can submit their passport to Ottawa and we submit our passport in our own country. By the way I am the main applicant.

I have a similar query:

I am currently residing and working in Canada (PGWP, valid till 2020) and am the main applicant, my husband (with Canadian visitor's visa) lives in US (dependant in terms of Canadian PR application). Both of us have got our PR approved and received our passports too. We want to complete our landing formalities, and my husband is flying to Buffalo on Friday. I wanted to cross Rainbow bridge and spend a few hours in USA on Friday. Next, within 2-3 hours, when my husband arrives in Buffalo, we want to cross the Canada-US border (Peace bridge) and complete our landing formalities for PR.

1. Does this sound like a feasible plan? If not, any alternatives?

2. Whatever I intend to do, is it flag-polling?

3. What about the information here: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/settle-setablir-eng.html under "Study and work permit requests, and requests for processing of confirmation of permanent residence at the Peace Bridge, Queenston-Lewiston Bridge and Rainbow Bridge". Is it applicable to me/my husband?

1 and 2. Yes, you would be flagpoling. Rainbow bridge restricts flagpoling, so depending on when you were planning, you could be refused landing.

3. If your husband was coming by himself, he would have no issues landing at any time because he is not flagpoling. However, if he is with you and you go during a restricted time, you will both likely be refused landing.
