Hi everyone! I am a PR since sept 2010 and am planning to sponsor my husband who is in the philippines. I understand that a sponsor doesn't need to be employed. I am currently pregnant and is expecting our baby to be born very very soon since i am already full term. Right now, while i am unemployed, my father is supporting me financially. I just want to know what documents do i need to include in our application about this current situation.
Also.. According to the doc checklist found in country specific instructions for the philippines, a photocopy of a canadian passport or a citizenship certificate of a canadian dependent child should be included in the application if the principal applicant (my husband) has one. As i've said, we are just waiting for our baby to be born soon, mu question is this: can we just wait for the birth cert of our soon to be canadian child and include a photocopy of it in replacement to the passport/ citizenship certificate requirement? Or do i really need to apply for a passport for our child after i receive the baby's birth cert.
The birth cert alone takes a month to get in our hands because it takes 4 weeks for a birth to be registered. If a passport is really needed, i will have to wait another 20 business days for the baby's passport to be delivered on our doorsteps after applying for one. ;D ;D your child wont be a dependant child of your husband just a proof of your ties to him
Thanks in advance
