Hi, I am looking some advice on my options to sponsor my child who will be born in the UK. I am a permanent resident currently living in the UK. I understand as I am PR I cant sponsor while outside of Canada. So I am hoping my child can join us on a temporary basis while we finalise the sponsorship. Has anyone gone through this or have any suggestions on how I go about it all? And the fees entailed. The most straight forward option would be to have the baby in Canada but we just are not in that position at the moment. Thanks in advance.

Hi
What nationality will the child have?

The child can come to Canada with you as a visitor and you can apply for sponsorship.
Your child needs an eTA but that is super simple. Visitor status is generally 6 months. You can extend the visitor status before the 6 months is up.
No, you don't have to do anything.
Skip the lawyer. It costs $150 to IRCC, plus a few hundred for the medical and incidentals like mailing.
Yeah, lawyers like to charge a lot for pretty much doing nothing.
Expect about 6 months.
Yes, as soon as you are actually in Canada.
