Hi All,

I am having Canadian PR and currently living with my wife and kids in USA. I got blessed with baby in USA.

So my question is how I can add him to our PR application and what is the procedure please ?

You will need to provide more information as regards what kind of PR application you are having and whats its current status is, but in general, you can send a specific inquiry form to the visa office handling your case, provide all your information and request to add your child to the application. You will have to attach a new family information form and a birth certificate of your child together with your email.
 
You have already landed as a PR; your application is closed. You must sponsor the child for PR. As a PR, you must be residing in Canada throughout the sponsorship process.

Hi Sashali78,

I have already completed my landing and came back to USA.

As an American, your son doesn't need a visa to come to Canada.

No, you cannot apply from the US.

Thanks canuck_in_uk. But I think he is exempt from visa only for 6 months. What is the process for his further stay after 6 months please ?

Prior to his status expiring, you will need to apply to extend his stay as a visitor.

Thank you very much canuck_in_uk ! .. Can you please help me to understand the processing times.

It also says if dependent is outside canada, So does it means while me and my kid staying in USA also can apply or does it means sponsor must be in Canada and dependent can be outside canada ?


I am confused about these processing times. It looks too much while sponsor and dependent both are in canada, isn't it ?

You cannot sponsor a dependent child inland. It must be an outland app. The child can be inside Canada while an outland app processes. The process will take around 8 months.
