Visiting newborn child... Super Visa?

[swestenzweig]

My fiancée is a Canadian citizen residing in Ontario. I am a US citizen residing just over the border in the United States. We are planning to marry in March of next year, at which time I will submit my PR application to begin my immigration process to Canada. As luck would have it, my fiancée and I were able to conceive earlier this year, but the baby will be born before my immigration paperwork can be submitted.

Once the baby is born, I would like to visit the baby as much as I can to help my future spouse and to bond with my child. What is the best way to go about doing this? I maintain a residence and a full-time job in the United States, so I will need to go back and forth between Canada and the US until my PR application is approved and I am able to officially land.

It appears that the Parent/Grandparent Super Visa is a multi-entry visa for parents of Canadian citizens (which my child will be) and sounds exactly like what I need, but the application asks for a letter from the child promising financial support... which obviously a newborn cannot provide. Plus, I would like to apply for the visa prior to birth so I can support my fiancée through the delivery process.

Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

You don't qualify for a super visa. To be sponsored through a super visa, you would need to have a child who is an adult and making sufficient income through a job in Canada to meet the low income cut off requirement. Your child is still a couple of decades away from qualifying to sponsor you.

If you want to visit Canada you should just visit based on your US passport since you are visa exempt.

Thanks, scylla. As the Family Class Sponsorship forum appears to be the better place for this topic, I'm going to abandon this thread.
