You can sponsor them immediately.

AS scylla already stated you can sponsor them, right away. Immigration will just want to know how you plan to support (food shelter what have you) yourself and your family.

Welcome to Canada! I hope your wife and son, are able to join you soon. Best of luck!

you don't need a job, but you need to prove to CIC that you have a way to support yourself. So if your family is supporting you, and providing accomodation for example, then get a letter stating that. Show that you have a plan for when your family comes - CIC wants to see that you will not go on welfare, and that you will be able to support your family.

Plan how you and your wife will support yourselves once she and your son get here. Then provide proof of this plan in the application. The above posters are right - you do not need a job, but you need to show how you will support yourselves, so having a job would help.

You can include things like: proof of any savings or investments you and your wife have; a letter or affidavit from a relative stating they will let you and your wife live with them until you get jobs; other letters offering support; a description of what types of jobs you and your wife will be looking for, with any relevant experience or education mentioned; etc. You can send in the application now while unemployed, then if you get a job before the PR visa is issued, you should send proof of your employment to the visa office processing your wife`s application to be added to the file.

If they are on your COPR as unaccompanied family members, then I am not sure you have sponsor them again. There must be rules about how to bring them.

If you are a newly landed immigrant who has a wife back home, didn't you include your wife (and children if any) in your application? I thought you had to declare them and they would have been eligible to come with you. After they landed, your wife could have gone back to finish her education. If you haven't declared your family members when you applied for immigrant visa, that would be misrepresentation. Unless, there are more to this then I can gather.

Of course, if you got married after you had landed in Canada, then you surely can sponsor your wife.

See the OP's first post. His family members were inlcuded in the application as non-accompanying - so no misrepresentation. He can sponsor them now.

Non-accompanying family members haven't actually gone through the immigration process; they have only had a medical done. Everything that CIC looks at when someone applies for PR, background checks, security checks, criminal checks, etc., hasn't been done for them yet.

They need to go through the immigration process and so the OP must sponsor them.
