I have a few questions about sponsoring minor kids.
I am Canadian raised in USA, but we are now moving back to Canada.
We have two kids 7 and 10.
I am told that sponsoring a minor is faster. But I am not clear on how many years they must be a PR before going to citizneship.
I was told 1 year and then I was told 3 years.
My questions are:
1. How many years must a minor child be be a PR before they can apply to be a citizen?
2. Is the age locked in from the time of filing for PR or for citizenship? (For instance, my 10 year old will not need to go through medical if her age is locked in at 10 unless she must start over once she applies for citizenship.)
3. Do they still need to be sponsored for ten years even after they are citizens?
