I have sent my application for Family Sponsorship on
February 2011. My wife was pregnant at that time and she was outside Canada. She was
not able to go for medical because of the XRay. I have requested the Immigration
to start the process and explained that she is pregnant. They returned the
documents beginning of March 2011and asked me to re submit my application when
my child is born and my wife passes the medical. My child has been born beginning
of May 2011. I have called the Immigration to ask if I have to pay processing
fee for my child and how much. They said since I am a Canadian citizen my son
is also a Canadian citizen by birth. The problem is that the Immigration said I
can’t sponsor him because he is already a Canadian. They said it is totally different
process and time to receive the citizenship documents is 10 months?! I am very
concerned that my application for sponsorship will be delayed a lot. As far as
I know usually if the child is not a Canadian citizen will take up to 6 months
from the same country. Now it looks like because my child is a Canadian citizen
we have to wait at least 10 months.
Please let me know if somebody had the same issue. How come
that non Canadian child will come to Canada faster than a Canadian? I
will not be able to see my child here in Canada just because he is born
Canadian? What to do???? Thank you!
