Hello All. I am a PR holder and arrived in Canada last month. My dependent child (2 year old) also accompanied me into Canada as a US citizen. The CBSA stamped his passport for 2 years. Now I am filling up inland sponsorship application for my child. I am stuck on form IMM 5406 and IMM5669. As per description - this form is to be filled up with primary applicant information (which means my son) and under parents section my information would need to be entered. But as soon as I land on this form online, it autofills my name and DOB. I am not able to update these fields. Can someone please guide me on what is to be done for this? or if I am misinterpreting what needs to go into form IMM 5406 and IMM 5669? Thanks

Since I have entered Canada on PR now, I have not completed 730 days. that will be in future. But I dont think that is tied to putting in an application to sponsor my child into Canada. As long as I can support the child financially, the application can be submitted. Isn't it? I already ran eligibility check for sponsoring child on the portal.

And do what you want
Just because you got into Canada doesn’t mean your RO isn’t going to be in the equation
Maintaining your RO has its benefits

Do you mean this is your first landing? If so was your child listed as part of your PR application? As non-accompanying? If you previously landed when did you get PR and how long have you spent in Canada during the past 5 years (or since you received PR if under 5 years). You should be both compliant with your RO and be able to financially support your child.
thankyou for sharing this post. I am in Canada with a PR card. I have been living in the US for work. I understand the permutations that you shared in the thread above. I figured the original issue that I was facing when I started application for my child. I was able to get past that.
You haven't answered the question. Here's the math: if you became a PR in the last five years and have been OUTSIDE canada less than 1095 days since the day you became a PR, you are in compliance with the residency obligation. (If you became a PR more than five years ago, same but outside Canada < 1095 days in the last five years).
If you're out of compliance, that may well delay processing of your sponsorship app and possibly cause IRCC to review your PR status (conceivably revoking it, subject to appeal).
yes i got that idea from the thread you shared. my PR was approved in 2022. I crossed the border to complete COPR formalities in 2022 itself. Then went back to the US. and came to live in Canada now in 2025. So I am well within 1095 days limit. Thanks for sharing the maths above. that gives a much clear insight. I appreciate.
Not clear from what you shared but sure you've done your own arithmetic!
Not sure I would call being outside Canada for 2-3 years well within the 1095 days but depending on when you actually left you will have to make sure you maintain your RO status in general but also because you are applying to sponsor your child.
When you created the PR Portal account, did you use your child’s name and date of birth? Or did you use your own existing PR Portal account to start this application?
Just my two cents: you’ll likely need to create a separate PR Portal account specifically for your child. You would then complete the application as a non-paid representative on his/her behalf.

Yes, thankyou. I realized that was my mistake. I had created the application with my information and therefore, I got stuck. Redid it for the primary applicant and it went fine thereafter
