If I'm married to a Canadian who works and we have a baby would it be possible to get a visa?

NO the baby does not entitle you to get any visa or legal status automatically. You still have to meet the requirements to be eligible to apply for a visa.








you need to be married to the canadian citizen or have lived with him already for 12 months (AND be able to prove those 12 months) before you can apply for a spousal visa.





Once you get approved for PR, you must live in Canada for 3 years before you can apply for citizenship.





your child does not need to be part of your immigration application because they are already a canadian,. However CIC will want to see a copy of the babys birth certificate.





BTDT my wife had a baby and then spent the next 3 years waiting for the visa application to be approved. While she was waiting, she had the visitor status extended and then got a work permit when she was eligible to get one.





just so you know - 3 years is not normal - we did have major hiccup that delayed the processing and it was not the baby





normal spousal processing from inside Canada is between 12 and 18 months.





my wife has has now been a PR for 3 years and our son is 7 years old.If I'm married to a Canadian who works and we have a baby would it be possible to get a visa?
Your Canadian spouse can sponsor you or you can apply to immigrate on your own. Having a baby will NOT grant you any kind of status. In fact, if immigration officials have even the tiniest inkling that you are having a baby just so you can acquire some kind of status, that will work against you. They may even deny your application.If I'm married to a Canadian who works and we have a baby would it be possible to get a visa?
Visa for what? What country? In most countries a newborn will get the citizenship from the parents, not the country it is born in. Even if it is born in one of the few countries where it will get citizenship of the country it is born in, this will not change the status of the parents.
your spouse will have to qualify to sponsor you on a spouse visa
