If the baby is not visa exempt to go to Canada, you should talk to the Canadian embassy close to where you are about your options. You can try applying for a TRV. If refused, you can try a TRP. It seems that some people have succeeded in getting one. If the TRP is refused, one of the parents must go to Canada and sponsor the baby for PR.
Hi,
I am in a similar situation. My wife and I are both PR in Mauritius. We went to Canada to take the PR in April, my wife was 5 months pregnant then. Our baby has arrived in August in Mauritius, and we obviously want to settle in Canada with our entire family. I've read quite a bit about parents in my situation getting TRP/TRV rejected, and need to sponsor from Canada, leaving family behind. CIC website say procedures can be quite long, 14 months for Mauritius. I definitely want to avoid that!!
The thing is, I (me only, not my wife) have a French passport. My child is therefore French by birth, and I've read France is a visa exempt country.
Does it mean I can bring my child with me just with her French passport?
Will authorities accept PR parents with a baby without PR but visa exempt?
Thank you for your help.
