Adoption after COPR and before landing in the Canada

[canuck78]

Thank you for your deep insights. While I can interpret easily your all inputs from the beginning, will you be able to clarify that how it will be adoption for convenience if there is long term parental relationshilp?
Also is it not possible for parents to travel without their dependent child after COPR ?

This was not a longterm parental relationship where biological parents were absent and/or removed because deemed unfit to care for their children because of serious mental health issues, child abuse, etc. Where is the biological mother? In the majority of adoptions, especially for family members, you need to show that the biological parents are deceased. In some rare cases if you can provide proof of longterm abandonment by biological parents we have seen approval but after a long struggle. Given that another sibling will be left behind this does not seem to be the case. Wanting to give your nephew better opportunities because you are attached to him is not a reason why he can accompany you to Canada and be separated from his biological parents and sibling. You need to be consulting a Canadian immigration lawyer about your case who will give you an honest opinion whether you have a chance of getting approved. If not you should not go ahead with the adoption creating a logistical nightmare for the child and his parents left behind in India.
All dependents would have to land and be included in original application once receive PR or you’d need to sponsor them again. Yes some parents move to Canada first without their children but they are biological parents with a record of solely caring for their children. Your case is very different. You have to prove that this is a valid adoption where biological parents are deceased or in some rare cases not able to be involved in their biological child’s life. Leaving your child in the care of the biological parent just reinforces that this is an adoption of convenience.

Thank you very much to all members who took their precious time to respond my predicament. Although my intention was not to pass only PR to my nephew but as he is dyslexic and very much attached to me only, I thought of the adoption. Considering the Canadian law of Adoption I think I have to look another legit way for him to join me inside Canada.

You can try to get a study permit but you’d need to prove that you could pay 10-15k/yr for public school plus living expenses. Very unusual for a small child to be approved for a study permit and separated from their parents. Would also likely have to budget for extra help because teachers don’t have the time to dedicate to most children with learning difficulties. Your best option is likely to fund private education and/or extra tutoring to address learning difficulties in India. The child will likely get a better education and more personalized attention that way than coming to Canada for a fraction of the cost. People immigrating have unrealistic expectations of the Canadian education system which is overburdened by children with special needs that can’t be addressed in a large classroom with one teacher. A lot of the extra help that children end up requiring come out of pocket for parents outside of school hours or sadly don’t get addressed.
