Hi everyone!

me, my wife and my daughter received our PR cards about 2 years ago; we're almost ready to move to Canada but in the meantime we've had another daughter, now 1 year and a half old

can she enter Canada with just passport and eTA, with us having PR status?

thanks everyone!

What nationality is your daughter? You being a PR doesn't change anything related to her immigration situation.

She needs a VISA / eTA for her to travel with you now.
Then you can sponsor her for PR, once you are in Canada.

Note that depending on your province, your non-PR child may not be able to get provincial health coverage until becoming a PR.

Great! so passport and eTA is enough, thanks!!!
Hold On, if you are from a VISA exempt country then yes, eTA and PP might be enough.
But if not, then you need visitor Visa.

hi everyone, thank you so much for your help and suggestions!

actually Canada Embassy in Rome told me I need a Temporary Resident Visa for my child...

I'm looking at the form and it's quite tricky, as it has some mandatory fields to fill definitely not suitable to a 2 years old child, like the "work experience" section

anyone had experience compiling this TRV for kids?

thanks again!

The embassy is wrong. Your Italian child is visa-exempt and therefore cannot apply for a TRV. Just get an eTA.
