Sponsoring my baby who was born outside Canada for PR holder

[Rano2013]

Hello All,

My wife delivered our baby in Dubai, and now I am planing to sponsor him. Currently I am in Dubai and I am planing to go myself first to Canada to submit his paper and then come back to Dubai.

What I want to know what documents should I take with me as I am still working in Dubai, and planing to move definitively to Canada in 2015.

Thanks for your help in advance.

If you are a PR, you have to remain in Canada for the whole period of the sponsorship application.
If you don't and CIC find out, which they almost certainly will, the application will be cancelled.

5.9. Sponsor
A sponsor is a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or Registered Indian (see Note
below) at least 18 years old, who resides in Canada and has filed an application to
sponsor a member of the family class, a member of the spouse or common-law
partner in Canada class or an applicant seeking permanent residence status in
Canada under H&C grounds [R130(1)]. Sponsors must meet these requirements on
the day the sponsorship is filed and from that day until the day a decision is made
with respect to the application (to sponsor) [R133(1)]

As Zardoz said, I'm afraid you would have to leave wife/child behind while you are in Canada to sponsor your child into Canada. PRs are required to stay in Canada during the sponsorship process. My concern is that if your PR wife have to stay in Dubai with child while you are in Canada, your wife's PR status may become a problem if her stay in Dubai affects her 3/5 year residency requirement in order for her to maintain her PR status.

Thank you for your prompt reply. How long does the process take>

 

[zardoz]

That all depends on which visa office is doing the processing, whether they are on strike and how complicated the application is.
CIC publishes the current processing times on the website for 80% of applications to have been completed. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp Currently it looks like a total of 20 months. Might be much faster however...

we landed last march, how long the whole process take place? is it 26 days to get initial approval. Thanks in advance.

 

[zardoz]

About that for the "sponsor" approval. That's the quick bit... After that the application goes to the Visa Office. You still have to remain in Canada for stage 2 as well.

Hi, if the sponsorship application is submitted in Canada, to which visa office is it supposed to go ?

 

[zardoz]

It has to go first to CPC-M and then they send it to the Visa Office of the country of the applicants citizenship or the country of residence, whichever the applicant has selected of the two.

Having said that, CIC has the right to make their own choice instead, regardless of what you select.

Do you think it would be better to apply for TRP before I live permanently to Canada, as I am planing to live in March 2015. Thanks a ton

Hi,

I am a PR holder and right now I am in Dubai. My wife is in Canada. We have taken a house on rent and my wife is expected to deliver our second kid on Dec 2013. I will be on and off to Edmonton. We went to Edmonton on August 26th 2013.
I was there in Edmonton for 16 days. And again I will be joining my wife on Nov 14th 2013.
We are planning to come back to Dubai in End of December 2013. But we will continue the flat rental. Again we will be going back to Edmonton between June 2014 end and July 2014 mid.

The question is whether in the mean time I can apply for my first kid's PR who born in Dubai in 2011. she is 21 months old. If yes what I have do, if no then when I can apply for the same.

I contacted some lawyer in Mississauga, they told me I can apply and the case can be through in 8-10 months. Is it correct or they are just fooling. me. My daughter is in India now with my relatives.

If you are a PR and you intend to sponsor, you MUST stay inside Canada during the whole of the PR application process. You don't have the option to sponsor from outside, unlike a Canadian citizen. See my original reply in this thread.
