Dear everyone,
Hello, how to sponsor a child in the Philippines? I am a canadian and married to a filipina. Please help me...what I gonna do to sponsor her daughter from the philippines to come here in canada?

When you sponsor her mother then you would include the daughter as her dependent.

I'm married to her mother. She live in canada with me, she is working in canada she has a Open Working Permit.

You still probably have to sponsor your spouse, and have the daughter as her dependent.
Assuming that you are not directly related to the daughter and have not legally adopted her, she is not necessarily your dependent.
I'm reading between the lines here as you have given very little information.

 

[zardoz]

All that you have done is repeated the question. You have given no extra information.

Okay, thank you so much

we are talking with my wife if can I sponsor her daughter from the Philippines because here Permanent Application is to long to wait. I'm a canadian citizene, so can I sponsor here daughter to come here in canada?

No she is not your daughter by birth or by adoption and marrying her mother does not make her your dependent.

As zardoz suggested, you could sponsor her mother and include her on the application as HER dependent or you can legally adopt her and then sponsor her. Being a citizen does not automatically extend you the privilege to sponsor whoever you want.

Regards,

You're married. Just sponsor you wife for permanent residency and on her application, she can include her daughter as HER dependent (not yours). Dependents of permanent residency applicants are automatically granted permanent residence along with their parents. There is the alternative of adopting her daughter first, but that's a waste of time compared to the simpler route of sponsoring her mother and having the mother include her as a dependent on the application.

Yes, I say permanent residence since permanent residency must precede citizenship. She'll have to wait a few years before applying for citizenship. But a permanent residency status is as good as citizenship as long as you're not too much into voting, running for office, obtaining high-level security clearance or intending to commit a serious crime that causes PR to be revoked.
