PR for newborn outside Canada

[Nchoudhary]

Hello,
I am a Canadian PR but due to pandemic I couldn’t travel to Canada from India plus I was pregnant and delivered in india last quarter 2021. I now plan to travel to Canada but am not sure if I would get PR for my baby if I apply from india now OR is there any other way baby can travel back with me? Perhaps on a tourist visa ?
Any insight would be super helpful.

You can't apply from India.

You need to be living in Canada in order to sponsor your baby for PR.

Yes, you would need to apply for a TRV for your child in order for the child to travel to Canada with you.

Residency Obligations. You can’t sponsor unless you meet RO. When did you get PR and how long have you been in Canada?

You will meet RO if you come to Canada and don’t leave for the time to meet RO. You apply for TRV for your child.
