Hi All,
I have a Canadian PR which was approved before I got married. I got married outside Canada and me and my spouse moved to US for short term due to work. Due to Covid restrictions, we could not plan/make the move to Canada. We applied for Canadian Visitor Visa for my spouse which was approved in 2021. My new born is 5 months old, has a passport but does not have a visitor visa yet. I have travelled alone to Canada for now but by current calculations I wont be able to fulfil my RO. Looking for assistance for:

1. Should I first apply for sponsorship for my spouse and child and then apply for visitor visa for by child ? If granted visitor visa for my child, can my spouse and child travel to Canada to be with me while the PR sponsorship is in process ?
2. Should I apply for Visitor visa for my child and depending on if/ when the visitor visa is granted and my family travels to Canada, then apply for Sponsorship for my spouse and child ?

Thank you
