Hi!I landed in Canada 3 weeks ago together with my wife but our daughter was left in the Philippines for a while because we doesn't have enough money for our settlement fund to show it to the immigration officer if she will accompany us.She was declared in our application before as our child but not accompanying.Me and my wife was under the federal skilled worker.And now we and my wife planning to get her with us in Canada.What is the best and easiest thing that we can do so that se can follow us right away here in Canada too.By the way our daughter was 6 yrs. old.

I really appreciate who ever can answer my questions.Thanks.
 
You have to sponsor the child with an application.Apply and go through the process of sponsoring a dependant child.
 
You use this outland application form - there is no minimum income requirement. Your child will be the principle applicant - even though, typically, on these applications it's the spouse that's the principle applicant.

Processing through Manila for dependent child sponsoring takes 4-8 months, after about 45 days in process within Canada to approve you as a sponsor.
