Hi friends

I am from INDIA.

I am in the middle of my closed work permit process.

I received my medical request but I had got pregnant by that time.

So I am unable to go through the medical which will be postponed now till the end of the year till i give birth to my child.

One of the members told me that i would need to apply for TRV for my child.

I felt that would be simple until I was browsing for the same on this website.

I was surprised to find TRV for infants also tend to get refused at times.

My questions are -
What do i need to do now to make sure that I am ready with all the formalities and documents when the time comes to apply for his / her TRV?
Also what is the difference between TRV and TRP?

Thanks

Is your employer aware that you are pregnant and that will lead to delays in you potentially arriving in Canada? Will you have enough extra funds to pay for childcare and at what age will you be willing to put your child in daycare? Finding daycare and the cost of daycare are major issues in Canada. Unless you are making a certain amount it may not be affordable to go to work. TRVs being denied are often for PRs or students not WP holders but you will have to show that you will have the extra funds to support your child in Canada to get approved. You also will have to get your WP approved if the job offer is still valid when you are planning on returning to work.

Hi canuck78

I can show CAD 10,000 as funds to support my child. These are my own funds. Are these enough?
Further, I will be staying with a blood-relative who is a Canadian citizen and well-settled in Canada.
She works from home and has happily agreed to take care of my child while I would be at work.

Ideally, I would like my child to be at least 6 months old before I move to Canada but things would already have been stretched by the time he / she is born, so i would like to move forward with my application and get things done with.

Is it necessary to put the child in a day-care as per Canadian system or is it okay if the child stays with a relative. Any guidelines relating to this?

What other documents will i need besides proof of funds?

Regards
Payal

Is this Closed WP with a employer who has hired a law firm to process your application? E.g. When i moved to Canada from US, the canadian employer hired a law firm to take care of all the paper work. I recommend you talk you your company's immigration lawyer if possible. They should be able to guide you with the best advice.

If not then try to seek a legal opinion on this other than this forums because we are all volunteers here and not legal experts.

Normally The child should be a dependent on the WP application and if your application is approved your dependent's application is approved as well. So there shouldn't be any chance of rejection.

Again talk with a lawyer but general documents would be
1. Your employment letter
2. Talk with the employer and see if your dependents get Medical insurance take that in writing and provide it as a proof of medical insurance. In Canada if you start working you do get provincial insurance but not sure about the dependents.
3. You are right in waiting 6 months after delivery to move to Canada. it is important that the baby gets all the vaccines. If you still have to travel Check with your employer if that is covered by insurance if not you may have to pay for it and medical is not cheap here :(


Again not a legal advice

A WP doesn’t guarantee approval for dependents. You do need to show how you will be able to care for the dependents to get approved.

Hard to say if 10k in savings will be enough to establish a life for you and a newborn in Canada. Is your employer willing to wait a year for your to start your job? That is very unusual. Although you aren’t required to leave a child in daycare depending on a relative who is working from home is not a full proof plan. They could discover that caring for a baby and working full-time is not possible or have to care for a sick family member for example and you would be required to pay for alternate. arrangements. Unless they run a daycare caring for a child while you work full-time from home is extremely hard and a lot to ask of a family member. Whether your plan is feasible also depends on your salary in Canada.

Lawyers are usually only provided by employers in top professional jobs. The majority of people on work permits didn’t get the help of a lawyer paid by their employer.
