Unemployed & pregnant sponsor about to give birth

[Ysstal]

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 proof of citizenship 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/ proof of citizenship 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.

Thanks in advance

A photocopy of the birth certificate of a child born in Canada is proof of the child's Canadian citizenship. No need to wait for the passport.

Also - if your baby will be born in Canada, then the baby is Canadian, and you don't need to sponsor him/her. He should be added in the family section, but not in the "dependent to be sponsored" part. Of course - he is the dependent of your husband, but in your case, I suppose that he will be born in Canada, hence doesn't need to be sponsored.
Good luck on the sponsorship part, and on the pregnancy!

Well im pregnant too , when i sent my application i was working full time but now im on maternity leave, and i founded a par time job i can do at home, what i did was i sent all my t4 from the time i started working so they know i have always worked, also with the option c print out you can show them that you aren't on any kind of welfare or anything , i also send letter of employment from my current part time and for my other full time job even thow im on maternity leave

i suggest you to make a letter singed from you dad saying that hes supporting you financially and hes planing to help you and your husband till he finds a jobs , i think that will work i know this lady who did that and hes husband is already here

goodluck and congra on the baby
