Hi, just wanted to check, do I need to have 3 years tax return to sponsor my dependent child from in side Canada? Since I am a newly landed immigrant (pr holder)& I don’t have 3 years tax returns in Canada. In case yes what are my options? Please advise.
 
So your child was included on your PR application as non-accompanying, and did medical? You don’t need tax returns but want to show that you can support the child.
 
No. I need to sponsor a new born. The child born after me, my wife & my other child became PR. My wife went back & delivered in our home country.
 
I don't believe that meeting the RO is actually a requirement to sponsor...even though it should be, IMHO. There's no mention of it being a requirement on the page.
If OP doesn’t meet RO and applies then would not that trigger a review of that person’s PR eligibility.

-Then applying MIGHT trigger a review of PR eligibility. We actually do not know. (Risk higher if the applicant is seriously out of compliance and esp if basically has not been resident in Canada much).

-Irrelevant anyway: "Since I am a newly landed immigrant (pr holder)". Unless this 'newly landed' means something completely different than the common meaning of those words (i.e. PR holder for more than 3 years), the OP should be in compliance with the RO.

-The relevant question is: is the sponsor NOW resident in Canada, and physically present - sponsor must be physically present to apply, and mostly remain in Canada during the process (short trips abroad OK).

You don't need to have 3 years of tax returns. Note that either you or your spouse must be living in Canada in order to submit the application and sponsor the child.
