Dependent child PR - Born outside Canada in 2018

[livingincanada2016]

Hi Friends,

I need some information, I got my PR with my family in 2017. My wife become landed permanent immigrant in Jan 2018 and went outside Canada in Apr 2018 and we came to know after a month she was pregnant. She had a complicated pregnant and we have a premature baby in December 2018. She visited me without the baby in 2019 for sometime. Baby was premature and she decide to raise the baby a little bit before bringing the child to Canada. She came this year and stayed with me. Because of pandemic we couldn't get baby pics done and other documents ready. We have got everything now.

My question is can I still apply PR for my dependent child born outside Canada using Family Class Sponsorship Or do we need to call CIC and confirm first?
Are there any facts I should consider or take care before processing the application? Also I have completed my required physical stay in Canada and applying the citizenship, I am trying to submit both the dependent child PR and my citizenship together.

Thanks in advance. If anyone has gone through this kind of situation please let me know.

Yes, as long as you meet your RO you can sponsor the child. Does your wife meet the RO?

Yes, I have filled that obligation, My wife has spend 315 days so far, but will be easily completing the rest of 315 days by 2022.

415 not 315. Would be prepared for potential questions about why your wife had returned to visit without your child especially since she seems to have spent months in Canada and was working in India before coming to Canada. You seem to be living quite separate lives. It also seems as though she landed in Canada and as soon as she got pregnant she returned to India. .
