guys, can a person with just 3 months permanent resident status can sponsor his dependent child?
and do that person has to have income in order to sponsor his child?
This person just arrived to Canada as PR for almost 3 months now, and he want to sponsor his dependent child during this time, and He not yet having a job, is it possible? Thanks
I believe anyone who has a Pr status can sponsor family. But where it might be a challenge is not having a job. How does one support? Maybe it’s best to go check out cic website requirements to sponsor a child . I’m a citizen sponsoring my child so unsure if it’s the same.

I hope everyone's doing well.

Still awaiting for the next step.. It says on the timeline that medical results have been received. Do I have the same timeline as you guys have? I felt like my application suddenly froze. I hope not. I'm getting anxious actually
Where is your visa office ?

I arrived in September '2019. Sent the package to CPC Sydney in early October. Got AOR in November along with sponsorship approval. But I landed a job in November and updated CIC using webform.

There is no minimum income requirement. But you need to highlight how you can support the dependent child. In my case initially I had shown my savings.

So make the application and update once you get a job. provide the Job letter details highlighting your salary just to be safe. No stated requirement for the same for child sponsorship.

In my case medicals got approved on November 28 '2019. Since then no update and my application is in that status for close to 3 and half months now.

So this is not something odd. You can look at the normal processing times for the visa office. In my case its close to 9 months for NDVO.

Oh okay, I guess it's case to case. An acquaintance of mine applied for his family the 4th week of November 2019, got their medical done on the 27th of December, request for passport on the 2nd of January, they will be landing here on March 22nd.

Processing time according to the visa office takes 11 months. Patience.... Thank you for responding.
