Hello folks
Once again I am starting a new thread to get this doubt cleared. Please someone who knows about this pls do help me out and answer the queries, would really appreciate it. How does it work if the parents are landed immigrants and then they have a child, wife does gets pregnant long after the parents have landed in Canada so there was no child neither were the parents expecting on while the PR process was going on. I have the foll queries

1. How does it work in the above case if the parents along with the child(US citizen) want to move to Canada?

2. Will he have to get a tourist visa or he does not need a visa since he is a US citizen.

3. Will there be any issues at the port of entry while entering Canada with the child who is a US citizen and is not a landed Canadian immigrant.

4. After entering Canada can the PR process be started for the child, Any issues in getting his PR

5. What about health insurance for the child while his/her PR process is pending.

Guys would really appreciate if someone knows anything about the above queries
Thanks

Here are my answers to the best of my knowledge

1) Child will have to be taken on tourist visa. Parents will then need to apply once in Canada. Will have to make trip and enter US every 6 months and go back to get child visa issued.

2) Visa not needed. Passport needs to be shown at border. 6 months entry allowed normally. Passport will be stamped at entry

3)Should not be Be honest as to exact scenario and inform Canadian immig that you do plan to apply for child once in Canada.

4) Should not be any issues. Grey area is on Salary. Nomally they need you to have decent job and file taxes but I think thats for calling parents, brothers/sisters etc - I have a feeling spouses and children are exempt. Check and follow up on it.

5)NO - And thats the biggest problem. Child will have no health insurance.

Best solution under this scenario is send child to India/home country to stay with grandparents. Parents move to Canada concentrate on starting their life and apply for child via Canadian embassy in home country. Child gets visa from Delhi Embassy and joins kids in Canada. This takes out any issues with medical insurance as medical is reasonable in India.
Biggest drawback of this is though logical it may not be practical because of parents (mostly mom"s) emotional attachment to the child.
 
Child will have no health insurance and cannot be admitted in any school etc and also no Child tax credit.

Generally in most cases, Mom and child go to home country and come when child gets PR and the husband tries to get the life stable in canada meanwhile
