Dependent Sponsorship

[Jo SA]

Hi everyone,

My husband, older child and myself have PR. Due to medical reasons we had our second child in South Africa. We have submitted our sponsorship in early June. Is anyone able to give advice on timelines or experience? We also used a representative who suggested we submit a Temporary Residency Permit (not Visa) in the hopes that our baby can come across to Canada while we wait for the sponsorship. Has anyone had experience with the permit?

Thanks in advance!

I assume either you or your husband are already in Canada since you've applied to spnsor your younger child. Processing times tend to be around 6 months for these applications.

Generally it's a better idea to apply for a TRV first (before a TRP) - there's usually around a 50%/50% chance the TRV will be approved. If the TRV is refused, then you would apply for a TRP. Some TRPs are approved and some aren't. It's really impossible to predict what your experience will be.

Thank you Scylla. My husband is already there. TRV was refused which is why we’re doing the TRP. It’s so tough waiting this out. Any idea on processing times for a TRP?

Ah - got it. TRP will likely take a few months to process.

Hi Jo SA - Can you share an update on where things are at? Did you receive a reply on the PR application? How long did it eventually take? I have applied for my childs PR 2 months ago and still waiting for an acknowledgement.
