Implied Status

Hi All,

My wife and I have a P.R status since Oct 2017, our son was born in Feb 2018. I applied a Visitor Visa for him and he is currently with us since January 2019. I have already applied to sponsor him and his documents have reached CPC sydney. As his Visitor Visa expires in June 2019, I have also applied for an extension.

My question is,
Will he have implied status only till the decision is made on the visa extension or is applied to the sponsorship as well?
If it does not apply to sponsorship, and only to Visitor extension, what happens if the application is rejected and what would I need to do next to keep our son with us.

I would greatly appreciate any and all inputs regarding this. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
John

Was your son born in Canada? I'm assuming not.

He only has implied status from the visitor extension application. If you do not apply for this, there's a slim chance he could be ordered to leave Canada before the PR application is decided. While it's a slim chance, it's easier to apply for his extension to try to keep him in status.

Thank you K.H.P, I have already applied for the Visitor extension and have confirmation from IRCC that the application has been submitted successfully. So, if the application gets rejected, is he out of status immediately? and will I have to pay the fine for out of status. Or can I have take him out of Canada and return as he does have a valid Visitor Visa till 2023.

Regards,
John

Hi John,
In a case the visa application gets rejected, you have 30 days to ask for a "reconsideration", sending more documents proving that you're waiting on the sponsoring process and so on. The final decision letter will give you directions on what to do.

There is no such out of status fine, you only need to leave the country in a case of visa denied and if you not going to appeal, but keep in mind that Officers are real people and I don't believe you would have a problem.
