Inquiry Regarding Newborn Baby and Immigration

[bhanu2024]

Dear All,

We are Canadian PR card holders currently living outside Canada, and we have a few questions regarding our newborn, who was born outside of Canada:

1. What is the process for bringing our newborn to Canada? Is a visitor visa the only option?
2. Can we sponsor our newborn while we are still outside Canada?
3. If a visitor visa is a viable option, should we use the GCKey portal to submit the application?

Thank you for your assistance!

Thank you for your assistance!

1. Yes.
2. No. One parent must be in Canada to apply.
3. Yes. If TRV is refused then one parent must move to Canada and apply. If approved make sure you have good health insurance for your child because child has no access to health and social services until PR.
