Hi All,
Well, good to see a thread specifically on dependent child sponsorship, actually my wife's exhaustive search led us to this thread.
My case is bit peculiar:
1. Overview: We (My wife & I) are PR, our daughter was born outside Canada and we brought her on TRV. We did not extend her TRV as was advised & ,seemed appropriate, to first renew our PR cards (we were behind on residency obligation of 2yrs) & then apply for her sponsorship instead of a TRV extension. Now, we sponsored her & she is in Canada with us.
2. Our timeline: Sponsorship Application received (as per Canada Post delivery receipt) = 12-July-2018
& since then no updates, no AOR yet.
Qs: We have an urgent trip planned for India in October & are in a dilemma on whether to take our daughter along or not? As she has already overstayed & that we haven't yet received any AOR. Cz if we take her with us, it would be difficult to bring her back to Canada (getting another TRV would be very difficult) & considering our case (she overstayed) there might be chances of a longer appl. processing or any hiccups with sponsorship.
Can anyone with a similar situation refer us to any lawyer or advise the best possible way?
Any kind of advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
