1. It depends, if the child requires a TRV (visitor visa) then you may find that the overseas office will not issue one nor a Temporary Resident Permit for the child. If so then one of the parents will have to return to Canada to submit a sponsorship for the child.ansonkeh said:Hi! My wife will be giving birth outside of Canada. Both she and I are PR.
What are the procedures for my new born baby to become a PR also?
Thanks!

2. If the child is from a visa exempt country, then it is possible to return to Canada with the child, and then submit a sponsorship application, using either the country of citizenship office for the processing, or if s/he is admitted for a year, then you could also use Buffalo.

One of us will have to return to Canada to submit the sponsorship since we are not from visa exempt country.
However, how do we do the sponsorship for the child once we are in Canada? Do we download the forms from a website and need to submit personally? What documents are neede and which office in Canada should we refer to.
Thanks for your help as always!

2. You submit the complete application and sponsorship to Mississauga with the medical receipt and copies of the passport and fees.
3. If the sponsorship is approved, the application will be then sent to the overseas processing office.
A PR can only sponsor from inside Canada, whether it is a spouse or a child or another relative.toby said:If the sponsorship of the child will be outland, i.e. through an embassy abroad, why must a parent PR come to Canada to submit the application? For example, I (Canadian) submitted the application for my wife's spousal visa from abroad. Is a PR sponsorship of a child -- processed through an embassy abroad -- not the same thing?
