Hi,
My case is some what similar to ramkris.
Myself and my wife are PR of canada. We landed in Canada in May 2011 and came back to India in July 2011 due to some personal reasons. We have our child born in India in Aug 2012.
Now, we intend to go back to Canada with our child.
For that, I have submitted my sponsorship application to CPC Mississauga (knowing the fact that while living in India, I cannot apply for sponsorship).
Now my client application status shows 'Decision Made' and sent a letter on my representative's email, that I am not eligible to sponsor, but they have forwarded my application to Visa office in India, who will make the final decision (yet to be made).
Now could it happen that local visa office could grant a visa to my child, because we will not be able to leave our child in India alone, as there is no one here where we could leave our child.
Please help....
It is very unlikely that the VO will decide to continue with the sponsorship.
Your best bet ( and probably the fastest) is to withdraw your application now, and then re-apply. As a PR of Canada, you MUST be living in Canada to be able to sponsor. As long as you don't meet that requirement, you won't be able to sponsor your child. You also have to watch for the residency requirement ( you're still OK, but keep an eye on it).
Once you withdraw your application, you have 2 solutions:
*apply for a TRV for your child, explaining that you will apply for PR as soon as you're in Canada. If the TRV is granted, then you can return to Canada with your family, and apply for PR right away.
*if the TRV is denied, then one of the parents returns to Canada, while the other stays with the child in India. If you return, as soon as you're in Canada, you can send the application to Mississauga. It's hard to be away from your child and spouse, but that's the only way that your sponsorship will be accepted. then - the waiting time starts. For a child, I don't think there is any specific procedure, but because there is no doubt that the relationship is genuine (which is the one that takes most of the time at the VO), and there is no security background check, it typically goes faster than a spouse sponsorship.
Note that if you do get a TRV, you will have to apply outland even if the child is in Canada, there is no inland sponsorship for children. So the file will still go to New Delhi, and you will have to arrange for the passport to reach New Delhi etc. - but you can worry about that when the time comes, there are quite a few applicants going through ND on the forum and I'm sure you will find some support.
You will also need to ensure that your child maintains a legal status - which means extending the TRV. However, with the proof that the PR application is on-going, the extension should be fairly easy.
Good luck,
