Hello Mabmabs,mabmabs said:Dear colleagues. This is my first post on this thread.... NEED YOUR HELP !!!
My friend and his wife are permanent residents of Canada. They had a baby birth outside Canada. Now they need to sponsor baby. My friend (husband) is going back to Canada in a month or so, and keen to bring his child in Canada.. Preparing for forms and documents . HUSBAND-WIFE Both are Canadian PR holders. Baby is 7 months old as of now.
Queries :-
1) Who has to fill the form of IM0008 (Generic application form).. the husband itself or it is child who is principal applicant to enter his/her name ? (child or father ? )
2) Immigration office requested for processing application :- London visa office or Islamabad visa office ?
3) Can he apply immediately after going back to Canada or he need to have a job/employment ? Baring in mind, it is not spouse sponsorship but 7 month old child sponsorship ?
4) Confusion over sponsorship evaluation form question No 4,5,6,7... never sponsored before, wife is already PR Holder via (FSW-Not sponsorship).
5) Do you advise to submit medical examination along with application ?
6) What is the fees ? 75 + 150 = 225 CAD ?
7) What are the processing times and chances. no employment as yet, recently landed, but Parents are PR holders and child is 7 months old, no PCC/BV/SC checks would be required...
Thank you ... Awaiting reply from any Allah Ka bunda who can reply to these queries..
Firstly congratulations on the new Baby. I m not very experienced in these sort of cases, esp one involved having a baby outside Canada for PR holders. The case is a little different if one of the parent is a Canadian Citizen, then the child automatically gets a Canadian Citizenship. Also this might be the wrong thread to post the question, but I will do my best to answer them
1) IM0008 is part of a immigration form which is to be filled by a spouse or dependent child ( type 1 Dependent Children)
2) This should be the resident of the child - If the child is in Islamabad then Islamabad, but I understand all Economic and Family Immigration is forwarded to London ( You should double check this )
3) In order for a parent to be approved for sponsorship , they need to show some sort of income to support the sponsored person.
4) This is where you need to fill how many people you have or if you have previously sponsored before ( refer to the application guide)
5) Medical examination is one of the requirement for sponsorship ( I believe it would be best to hand it in first )
6) Not sure what the total fees is, including the gov fees
7) My Strong advise would be to consult some senior members starting your own thread

All The Best and do let us know how things go .
