Urgent Return to Canada with Newborn: Immigration Choices for PR Holders

[Karthik Rammoorthy]

We are both PR holders of Canada. My wife was pregnant and we had to travel to India to attend a family emergency. Our newborn was born in India and is 3 months old. We need to rejoin work and what are our best options
1. Apply for dependent child PR as soon as I come to Canada and then apply for TRV with the AOR.
2. Apply for Visitor visa explaining our circumstances and then apply inland PR if we get the visa for our new born.

Either really, hard for anyone to guess. Personally I'd consider applying for child's TRV immediately, and then you return to Canada (without delay) and then submit PR app. If that TRV is delayed or refusd, apply once AOR is received.

Note, there's no such thing as 'inland' for dependent children - however you apply, same procedure.
