Hi,
You need sponsorship application for member of the family class. Application form can be found here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
Per the processing time, it varies from where you are applying. However, the general processing time is currently 17 months including the 60 days of sponsorship assessment in CPC-Mississauga.

Hi, I'm a permanent resident (PR) here in Canada for about 1 year and 6 months because of my husband and I want to get my 8 years old daughter in the Philippines. The question is what espacific application form do I need to my dependant child. Because before I go here in Canada I already declared her in my application form. And I include my daughter as a non-accompanying dependent in my permanent resident application form and she also has a medical exam... I want to know how long will it take to get my daughter and what application form do I need...pls..help me because I want to be with my daughter...I hope you can help me thank you!

Sponsorship - Failure to Disclose Dependent

Family of 5, parents and 3 children. Second child was lost right after birth. Family became PR with a size of 4, without declaring the lost one as non-accompanying family member. As a matter of fact, the parents have no information at all about the lost child. The child does not have a name known to the parents. And the parents did not know if the child is still alive or not when their PR application was filed and was approved. After becoming PR, the parents searched the child again after 14 years and found the child was adopted by a family after birth near their hometown. 4 years later, they decided to sponsor the child before the child passing the age deadline. However, the sponsorship was declined due to failure in declaring the dependent. Now the child has been over the age of 19.

What are possible solutions for this family to reunion in Canada? Is there any other ground that can get around of the requirement on the eligibility of sponsorship because the parents has no information at all about the child? Please help the family!

The application for sponsorship was filed and received by CPC-M before the child reaching 19. The child was excluded from the member of the family class pursuant to s. 117(9)(d). However, I want to argue that the applicant did not have any information when becoming a PR of Canada, how can he disclose any information for someone he had no information at all, or not even know whether this child still alive. this seems to be an appeal to IAD or judicial review for the decision. Any suggestions?


The child is now an adult and would have to qualify and apply for PR independently through an economic class like Express Entry / Federal Skilled Worker or one of the Provincial Nomination streams.
