Daughter born in India

[Sidhant73]

Hello,

Me and my wife moved to Canada in Dec 2019 as PR. I am working overseas for oil and gas industry one month on and off. When my wife got pregnant i sent her to India to our family so she won't feel alone. The plan was to travel to Canada before delivery. But at the last moment our flight was cancelled and we were also scared as this is our first baby so we decided to deliver in india. My daughter is one month old now and i have already applied for her indian passport which i will get in few days.

Now my question is should i go for sponsorship of my daughter? Or apply for trv for my daughter and then apply for pr when in canada. What will be the processing time in each scenario? Kindly help me. If there is anyone with my circumstances that will also help.

Thanks in advance.

I also now want to leave my job and settle permanently with my family in canada.

You cannot sponsor your daughter while living outside of Canada. In order to sponsor your daughter or PR, either you or your wife must move back to Canada.

I would recommend applying for a TRV first since you are outside of Canada. If the TRV is approved, you can then travel to Canada as a family and then sponsor your daughter for PR after you have arrived in Canada.

Thanks for quick reply. So i will start applying for TRV and hope it is approved.
