Family sponsorship for Child

[rahulbharath]

Hi all,

A quick question.

I am a PR residing in Canada sponsoring PR for my 8 month old child. I have lived in Canada since 2018 May. Do i need to submit any police certificates along with the application for myself? The checklist generated does not include a police certificate. but it is present in the Basic Guide page that those sponsoring must submit a police certificate.

Any help will be appreciated!

No. The guide does not state that sponsors must send PCCs.

I know what you are looking at. Again, no where does it say that sponsors must submit PCCs.

Understood. Thank you. Also, is a biometric fee applicable? The child is already in Canada on a tourist visa.

Hello Canuck,

I have got an update stating i am eligible to sponsor and got an email asking me to do medical test.

The address i had given in my sponsorship and of the baby are both a Canada address. Currently we are on a holiday in India.

can we do the test with a panel physician in Chennai? would that make any kind of difference? or if i gave address in my application as Canada, i should do it only in canada?

You can do it in Chennai.

No point in waiting for a TRV app to be processed. Your husband should have started the sponsorship app as soon as he returned to Canada. He is required to live in Canada throughout the process.

There is no guarantee of the TRV app being approved.

You are supposed to remain in Canada throughout the sponsorship. Vacations of 2-3 weeks seem to be tolerated so hope you are not going for longer.

If you are a PR and you are the sponsor, you need to stay in Canada. As Canuck pointed out, a short vacation is OK. But months long vacation is NOT. So you should return to canada soon if you have already been out for weeks.

I assume the medical is only for your baby. So your baby could get medical done in Chennai but in case baby needs further tests, it's more complicated if you and baby already returned to Canada.
