Newborn Sponsorship

[Guy293]

Hi All,

So my wife and I are both PR holders, and due to the Covid thing she will give birth at about April 2021, in Israel.
We're looking to move to Canada at August at the latest, which means our child will be about 4 months old.

How do we sponsor it? Do we need to submit anything immediately after it's born or only after we're in Canada?
any help will be great appreciated.

Thanks

You have to be in Canada to sponsor the child. They can enter as a visitor on their Israeli passport with an eTA.

However, COVID isn't stopping you from returning to Canada now, and if the baby is born here of course they will automatically be a Canadian citizen. Then the only paperwork you'd need to do would be with the Israeli embassy to get their mispar zehut.

Thanks a lot, I read that page and didn't really understand if I have to get any medical tests or other forms filled in the birth country (Israel) and bring them to Canada.
Also, I know Covid doesn't stop us, but with things being as they are, the wife prefers a first birth with familiar surroundings.

So what forms do I fill? Do I need a police certificate again?

Forms are here:

Wait until you are in Canada to fill out the forms since sometimes they are updated / changed.
