I have a question, I am a non-Canadian visa holder and my common law partner is working in Toronto Canada as a caregiver and she is an open permit, she give birth to our baby boy last Nov, 11 2012 in Toronto ON.... After complying all the child's registration (Canadian citizen). Last July 18, 2013 they visit here in Philippines to have a vacation. Sad to say my common law partner has passed away last April 24, 2014 due to stroke (heart failure). My inquiry is i want to support my child and want to apply for a visa.and is there any chance that i can receive any child benefits even we are here in Philippines?

No - you do not qualify to receive any child benefits in the Philippines. You and your child must be living in Canada to qualify.
I'm not sure I understand your question about the visa. If you are asking about a visa to Canada, having a Canadian citizen child will not help you get a visa to Canada. You will have to qualify for the visa in the same way as anyone else.

Sorry for your loss. If you want to raise your child, you will need to do it in the Philippines. Having a Canadian child does not give you any special status in Canada.
Based on current rules for sponsoring parents, your child will only be able to sponsor you for PR after they can work for 3 years in Canada making suitable income, so will most likely be when he is in his mid 20s or so.

Yes, if you want to support your child, just do it in the Phillippines. If you want to immigrate to Canada, you should apply as a skilled worker, live in caregiver, etc. Your child can't really give you PR unless he's 18 and has to then show 3 years of continuous income after that. The rules are likely not going to be eased as the rules seem to get tougher every year. It's hard to say what the government will do 16 years from now.
