Hi there,
Thank you all for valuable reply on my first thread.
Me and my wife are canadian PR and residing in ON, Canada for 3 years. My baby was born on July 02, 2018 in USA in emergency situation. We brought baby to canada as a visitor. I'm planning to sponsor my baby for PR. In following link, the section: "Before you start" => subsection: "What it means to sponsor someone" suggests to sign undertaking agreement that, "You should make sure that those you sponsor won’t need to ask the government for financial help. If they receive social assistance, you’ll need to pay back what they received." This agreement will still in-effect even he becomes canadian citizen and last for up to 3-10 years depends on person being sponsored.

1. Do financial help & social assistance mean that we can't get child benefit? If we do then we have to pay back?
2. If above statement is correct, can I directly apply for PR instead of sponsorship application?
3. Best of my knowledge, to be eligible for child benefit, parents must be PR; child status doesn't matter, is it correct?
4. Should I've to apply inland or outland sponsorship application? Where should I mail sponsorship application Sydney, NS or Mississauga, ON?
Your suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you
