Hi,

Is there any other option to add my baby in PR as have already informed Canada Embassy but not getting any response!!
No. You need to wait for IRCC to respond. If you land without adding the baby, the child will be forever excluded and you will never be able to sponsor them.

Thanks. But as a second alternate options can I bring him on Visitor Visa and subsequently initiate sponsorship application from within the Canada? As it will take only 11 months if I will sponsor him from Canada while it takes 16 months from India!

Again, you can't land in Canada as a PR without adding the child.

The app will not be processed faster from Canada. It will still be sent to New Delhi and take the same amount of time.

No - not an alternative. If you fail to add your child to the application then you'll never be able to sponsor the child. Again, you MUST add the child to your application BEFORE you land.

Hello, I have a few questions

I had my baby in the US march 2019 but currently reside in Ghana with my spouse and we both have a PR (got in 2017)

We want to sponsor the child so we can all move finally next year. Can we do the application from outside Canada? or we must be living in Canada to do the application?

One of you must be living in Canada to do the application. It cannot be submitted from outside of Canada.

Thank you so much @scylla ....how long does either of us have to live in Canada for....also can I go to Canada and put in the application and leave after like 2 months? or better still how long does it take to get everything sorted.

Either of us do not intend to stay for longer than 2 months if we submit application, but we intend to move finally next year. We just want to sort out adding the newborn.

You must be living in Canada when you submit the application and continue living in Canada while it's processed. Processing will take 6-8 months. No - you cannot put in the application and leave after 2 months. If you do this, expect the application to be canceled.

I don’t understand why you want to deliver your baby in India, and pay arm and leg length of hospital, Pharmacy and Doctor Bills
After that you need to pay for PR, and Landing fee, Medical test, Police clearance, and kid is going to have Indian date of birth certificate. No vaccination records, not a born Canadian
You need to apply for Indian Pass Port, after five years you need to apply for Canadian citizenship, then Canadian Passport, then OCI. Lots of issues
I don’t know why you want to talk all those pains, when you do not have to pay for single dollar during Pre and Post Delivery of your baby in Canada?
Lost’s of folks spend their 7 months of before due dated outside Canada (like USA, India) and come to Canada and have their baby delivered for free.
In addition if you manage to put 900 hours of employment before your due date, you are eligible for EI (Maternity leave) Government would pay about $1300 per month for 11 or 12 months
I recommend to take the benefit of best health care system in world at Zero dollars
We are new pr to canada amd wife pregnant, we just landed last month not having any job currently, will my spouse eligible for any govt help during maternity and pregnancy like you talked about EI or not?

Not sure about other government help/social assistance.
But if you don't have a job, there is no EI (you and your employer contribute payment to EI for a period of time before you can claim EI).

How did you obtain your PR? If it's under economic stream, didn't you have to provide proof of fund? If you are under protected person, there maybe other social assistance programs.
