I am Canadian PR holder since July 13, 2016. We started the adopted procedure for a girl child in India, few days before we were suppose to land in Canada for PR. We got approval from Canadian permanent resident in April 2016, and accordingly book our tickets to move to Canada Permanently. On July 2, 2016 we got a mail from Indian government adoption authority (CARA) about availability of a girl child, without wasting time we went to the adoption authority and completed the basic formalities for adoption and applied to Court for legal adoption on July 8, 2016. Because out ticket were booked and the legal procedure was not yet completed for the girl child (still under foster care), we didn't inform the Canadian immigrantion about this new development. We went to Canada and got our PR on July 13, 2016 and returned back to India after 10 days to complete the adoption formalities. The adoption process got completed Jan 2017 with legal adoption order and adoption deed from court.
I moved to Canada on July 2017 to search for job and later applied for PR for my adopted daughter's through family sponsorship on May, 2018. I got a mail from Ministry of children and youth services ontario on June, 2018 to provide additional documents to get NOC from the Province.
Now they are confused if this an in-country adoption or Inter-country adoption.
The fact is I was in Canada for only 2 weeks during the entire process of getting legal adoption completed. Based on CARA this is in-country adoption, but provience and immigration Canada are confused, as I was holding PR during the process of adoption.
I am confused, if this case is getting on to a different direction. And would this create a problem in my child's PR process. Now provience has asked a letter from adoption authority from India to provide a letter stating its a in-country adoption.
Please help.
