How to apply Canadian PR for USA born baby of Canadian PR parents

[sumitbajaj07]

Hi All,

I am having Canadian PR and currently living with my wife and kids in USA. I got blessed with baby in USA.

So my question is how I can add him to our PR application and what is the procedure please ?

If you are already a Canadian PR, you can't "add" him to any application. Your application is done.

You would need to sponsor him for PR, unless your wife is a Canadian citizen? See the family sponsorship board. As a PR, you would also need to be in Canada to sponsor him.

Thanks Lammawitch. No my wife is not canadian citizen. So I can't start his application from USA ? I am planning to go to canada next year so which visa I should apply for him to take him with me please ?

Since your child is US citizen, he needs no visa.

Thanks for your reply. But I think for 6 months only he is exempt after that what is the procedure please ? Can't I start his PR application process now from USA to save some time ?

As a landed PR, you can only sponsor a dependant when you are living in Canada.

Your son as an American citizen can be admitted to Canada for up to 6 months as a visitor, then you can extend the visitor visa from within Canada.

It also says if dependent is outside canada, So does it means while me and my kid staying in USA also can apply or does it means sponsor must be in Canada and dependent can be outside canada ?



I am confused about these processing times. It looks too much while sponsor and dependent both are in canada, isn't it ?
