Family Sponsorship..Need Help!

[joeldale]

Good day you guys,

I am from Jamaica and my dad is sponsoring my step-mom and my bros to migrate to Canada. I wont be leaving with them, but will I still be able to receive a PR Card? and travel to Canada or would I need to apply for visitors visa to travel to Canada?

Thanks in advance.

Once the PR visa is issed, you need to travel to Canada before your PR visa expires to activate your PR status and recieve your PR card. If you don't travel to Canada by the time your PR visa expires, you won't become a permanent resident and won't qualify for a PR card. Short answer: You MUST travel to Canada.

Just to clarify - were you included in your father's application as a dependent?

 

[joeldale]

Yes I am a dependent of my father's application

Yes I am a dependent of my father's application

Are you listed as an accompanying dependent or non-accompanying dependent in your father's application?

If you are listed as accompanying dependent, then as mentioned above, you must arrive and land in Canada before your COPR visa expires.

If you are listed as non-accompanying dependent, you won't get PR status, despite going through all the medical test.

The only reason I am asking you this is because you mentioned that you won't be coming to Canada with your step mom and brothers.

You didn't mention anything about this information.

Keep in mind that if you are, in fact, listed as non-accompanying in your father's application, your father will not be able to sponsor you at a later time once you turned 19 years old.

So if I am listed as non-accompanying does that mean if I would like to travel to Canada I would have to apply for visitor's visa?

Yes - this means you would need to apply for a visitor visa. This also means you cannot come to Canada to live - all you can do is visit temporarily.
