Need info to get our adopted child to canada

You can't just adopt a child, even if it's a relative, just because you want to give them a better life. The child needs to have both parents deceased, or either parent has zero capacity to take care of the child

So why did you adopt her in the first place? This makes no sense.

Since you adopted the child then simply left child with her parents while you took off to Canada, this may be seen as a strong case of adoption of convenience done solely to get the child to immigrate to Canada. You don't seem to have a real parent/child relationship with the child. I would predict very high chance of refusal here.

Plus if you didn't declare a legally adopted child in your own PR app, that would exclude them anyways from ever being sponsored for PR by you.

Thank you very for your reply. Is there any chance to bring her as an international student?

You didn't answer the question. WHY exactly did you legally adopt the child in the first place? Was it to eventually give her a better life in Canada?

Yes Sir. Our names as Parents on her passport now. Is it an issue while filing for international study permit?

It's really impossible for any of us to say. You'll have to try and see what happens. You should be careful in how you explain your relationship to the child. I would include an LOE explaining that while your names appear as her parents on the passport, that at least one of her parents is still alive. You don't want to end up in a situation where IRCC says you have misrepresented the situation and circumstances.

You'll need to get a local school to accept her first. Once that's done, you'll need to apply for the study permit. As part of this application, you will need to include a bank statement showing at least $25,000 in savings to cover living expenses and tuition. You should expect that tuition will cost $15,000 per year for public school (more for private).

Good luck with the application.
