How to sponsor non-accompanying dependents immediately after landing?

[harshads]

Hello All,

I got my Canada PR recently and landed in Canada on December 9, 2017. Me and my family were in the US during the PR application processing and during my application, I declared my family is non-accompanying. All the necessary formalities like medical exam and PCC were complete for all family members declared in my application. My thought process was as soon as I get a good job I will sponsor and reunite with my family.

Here is my current situation:

1. I am still awaiting my PR Card to arrive.
2. I had a job offer before landing but after getting PR stamped.
   
3. It's a good job in my field and I have accumulated 2 paystubs until now.
4. Now I want to sponsor my family members who were declared as non-accompanying i.e. wife and kid miss them a lot here especially in this winter.
5. My family is currently residing in my home country India.

Following are my questions:

1. What is the fastest way to reunite with family?
2. Do I need to wait for PR Card to arrive before I can send in my application or COPR document after landing is enough)
3. What are all the documents required for the Application to be submitted (myself + family)?
4. Under which category can I apply for family PR (I little confused between different categories).
5. Are there any things I should be careful while submitting the application?
6. Also, can I sponsor my parent super VISA with my family?

Thanks in advance.

Can someone please have a look at my question and give me any tips?

You do it by applying through the family sponsorship. I hope you had declared your family on your previous application. Really hard to give you a lot of tips at this stage. Do some reading, print off the forms and the checklist for your home region and check this forum.

You simply sponsor them with a family class app. Everything you need is here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp

You can also apply for parents supervisa at same time, the 2 processes are not related.

Thank you @Sous02 and @Rob_TO

I did declare my family members in my application and all necessary formalities were followed for them.
Just one more doubt, do I have to wait for 1 year in order to be eligible to sponsor my parents Super Visa (I landed in Canada just last month)?

No. You don't have to wait. You can apply for the super visa immediately provided you have a job in Canada that meets LICO. To calculate LICO, make sure you count yourself, your wife, your children and your parents.

@scylla thank you for the quick response. I already have a job and my total family members are just 4 including parent (just mom). I think I am making more money than LICO for 4 people to survive in Toronto. Thank you very much, everyone again.

If your father is still alive he has to be counted. It will likely take a year for your wife and child to arrive in Canada unless you are able to get a trv for them which is usually quite difficult.

I am aware of difficulty getting TRV. My father passed away long back. Do I need to declare this in my application for Super Visa? My wife is also trying Express Entry we are keeping both options open. I wish they could arrive by end of Aug so that my son can start school from Sep. Anyways I need to apply first.

No need to add him if he is deceased.

No need to add him if he is deceased.

Do you know if I need PR Card before applying or COPR landing page is sufficient?

I am in the same situation as you, did you took your family to Canada? did you get the sponsor visa immediately ? what is the duration you waited?

If your family have visitor visa to enter Canada, then they can come as visitors while waiting for the PR application.
Otherwise, the PR "visa" will take a while (I read that dependents' are roughly 6 months and spousal is targeted for 1 year)
