PR and child born abroad

 Thank you for sharing your question and situation with us. In addition to PMM's response, you may also find helpful information in the thread Permanent Residency outside Canada. Here is an excerpt about travelling back to Canada as a PR holder with children who are born abroad:



2. PR holders’ children who were born abroad

A child born to permanent resident parents while abroad doesn’t become a permanent resident by birth. According to Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, to become a permanent resident, foreign nationals must apply either as a member of the family class, the economic class, or as a refugee.

Under the family class, permanent residents who are at least 18 years old and reside in Canada can sponsor their spouse, partner, or dependent children to become permanent residents and move to Canada.


So, while children born to PR holders outside Canada aren't immediately considered Permanent Residents, there are other options available for travel/sponsorship.


Please let us know if you have further questions. We hope that the information provided is helpful. You may also wish to speak to a reputable and registered immigration consultant or an immigration lawyer who is familiar with Canadian immigration regarding your situation before starting any application process.
