Sponsor step child

[Aarif99]

Your original post says 2015.

Again, what date did you land?

May 2016

No, not unless she's gone through the legal process to adopt him. Else you must sponsor your own child. And you can only do this if you are living inside Canada.

Also you need to be meeting the Residency Obligation. If you landed in 2015 but moved outside Canada, seems like this could be an issue.

I just went tbrough the definition of depe dant children and it includes children of the spouse aswell.https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5196-sponsorship-adopted-children-other-relatives-sponsor.html

If you are also sponsoring your spouse, then yes.

But that's not what was being discussed here.

Thanks for clarifying. So I can sponser my spouse and children of my spouse from her previous marriage at the same time ? She Does not have to wait to become PR to apply for her kids sponsership.

Correct. You would sponsor both of them at the same time. Your spouse would be the primary applicant and the child will be included as a dependent in the same application. They will get PR status at the same time.
