Bringing new born to Canada

[ManC]

Hello All

I and my husband and PR holders , we came on vacation to India in March and got stucked here since then due to COVID.
My first kid is 3 year old Canadian born I am now 7 months pregnant , we are planning the delivery here for various reasons ( covid situation , family support etc)
My husband will travel this month to Canada. Now the question is how to bring our new born to Canada ?

if Visitor ( TRV) is applied , what are the chances of approval and how much time does it take?
if My husband sponsors PR , looks like the processing time is 11 months ( this is not feasible for us , since we may have to stay here more than a year from now) ?

what are our better chances ? Please help

Thanks
ManC

Why don't you wait and apply when the baby is ready to travel to Canada? Either get a TRP (for the baby) in India or one parent will have to apply the sponsorship from Canada.

Thank you . Yes we will apply when the baby is ready to travel . but the question is about which visa can be done fast ?
btw what is TRP is it different from visitor visa ? How long does it take to get this visa ?

So processing times below but also take into account that the new born will need a passport before applying for a TRV. Realistically maybe assume begin 2021 before can travel

Would add that you need to contact CRA and advise them that you and your children will be out of Canada for quite some time for CCB purposes.

Do you mean to say that for the first kid ? Or second?

Apply both, together if posisble.
Get the baby's indian documents sorted out first, then do for Canada as baby will need passport.

You may need to buy health insurance for your infant (since some cdn provinces have 3-month wait time for healthcare coverage).......check that for your province.
