Dependent Child Sponsorship and PR renewal

[bsureshmaran]

I am not as familiar with the specific application requirements so keep this in mind.

BUT: I don't believe that there is a specific income requirement for sponsoring your child - only that you show how you will support the child.

So tell the truth, and if you wish to provide a letter of explanation (with supporting documentation where available) about your current income, savings, etc, then do so. I do not think including five years of CRA assessments is necessary but if you wish to include the most-recent-before (i.e. 2020), that may be helpful and won't hurt. (Adding the full five years would just be excessive)

The reason for including 5 yrs copy is because the year 2019 and 2020 I was not in Canada. It is just a nil tax i filed. so I wanted to give the 2016 - 18 CRA. So if this is not the criteria to evaluate the sponsorship, then I am ok

Please do check. But I think the older returns will be less credible than current employment and savings.

I assume you are compliant with residency obligation.

Are you sure you are compliant with your RO? How many days have you spent in Canada since landing in August 2017?

This is for child sponsorship right?, As far you are a PR and residing in Canada to appply, i think it is ok...Let me know otherwise.

You also need to be in compliant of your RO to sponsor.

So make sure that you have already been in Canada for 730 days the minimum (or in your case, you would be in Canada for 730 days by Aug 2022) before you send in the application to sponsor your child.
If you tell us how many days you've been inside Canada now, we could see if you would have met RO.

Are you sure...? this is what i read in the website

You can sponsor your spouse, partner or dependent child if:

• You’re at least 18 years old
• You’re a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act
  • If you’re a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you must show that you plan to live in Canada when the persons you want to sponsor become permanent residents.
  • You can’t sponsor someone if you’re a permanent resident living outside Canada.
• You’re able to prove that you’re not receiving social assistance for reasons other than a disability
• you can provide for the basic needs of any persons you want to sponsor

In fact I stayed in Work permit here more than 4 yrs in total and in PR for a year....But i dont see a requirement that you must have lived here 720 days in PR...Myself and my wife aare PR holders and we had oour child in India, now I am sponsorsoring the child....

Will have to find you the reference, but you must be in compliance with residency obligation. That doesn't mean having lived here 730 days if within the first five years of landing.

But definitely, if not in compliance with residency obligation - which you will need to figure out - you cannot sponsor.

Brief form of the rules is that days in Canada from day of landing + days from date of applying to the five year anniversary must be greater than 730. If and only if you apply from within Canada (which you must) and remain in Canada enough to remain in compliance.

Suspension of processing

If any of the situations or circumstances below apply to you, we won’t start processing your sponsorship application until a final decision related to the situation has been made.

• You’ve failed to respect your residency conditions;

In practice, what this can mean is that by applying to sponsor, you have started an examination of your compliance with residency obligations, and if not in compliance, IRCC could start process of revoking PR status.

So applying when not in compliance, you risk making things worse.

I thing we are mixing things up....in the link you provided above hasn't mentioned about living 720 plus days is must to sponsor.
1. 720 days stay in canada after PR landing is must to get the PR extension
2. For child and spouse sponsor, the sponsor has to be in Canada with valid PR, thats all...I know people getting it now.

You need to be compilant to RO. If you haven't yet landed for 5 years, you don't have to already lived in Canada for 720 days. As long as you would have met RO within the 5 years and rolling 5 years.

I don't see a point of arguing here. If you do not think that's necessary, you can apply and see if IRCC will evaluate your RO during the process.

Hi, I am not arguing ..trying to understand the requirement.

To be more clear...
I got my PR in Sep 2017 while I was in canada itself
I lived in canada until 2018 end (1 yr after landing). Then went back to India and came to Toronto again in Dec 2020.

I am currently in canada and applied for child sponsorship. Wife is also PR holder but living in India moved after finishing the landing process in 2017

Are you saying that I am not eligible to be sponsor in this case?

I am seeing my friends with similar situation getting it approved, hence raising this question....

Now you have given us the dates, let me try to calculate.

you land in Sep 2017 and stayed for 1 year that's 365 days
then you are back in Dec 2020 and till now it's roughly 120 days. So you have 495 days. For easy math, let's say it's 500 days.
So you need another 220 days to meet RO. And you still have 1 year and 4 months till Sep 2022 (5 years from landing).
If you do not plan to travel extensively, you for sure can accumulate 220 days within the next 1 year and 4 months.

So you are in compliance with your RO. You can sponsor your child.

Thanks. Are you suggesting that i should apply only after that 220 more days of stay?.
My Application for child PR is already submitted and I have received AOR on Apr 21st.

No. You can apply now. Since you will be able to meet RO before the end of your 5 years. It's a projection.

Oh my god. Thanks at last

I am hoping to get the PR for my child this year. My wife hasnt met the 2 yr criteria yet for the extension next yer..she will have to travel with child and stay for 2 yrs straight without travelling and only then she will get extn. Child and myself will have validity and no issues in that.
