My complete family has PR card. My daughter was born Pakistan two months ago (She does not have PR Card). I want to sponsor her and return to Canada as a complete family unit as soon as possible.
Can I sponsor her from Pakistan (I have a place in canada where I plan to live after returning. I can give its address.) or I have to go to Canada to sponsor her.
I did not work in canada but I have around CAN $16000/= in Canadian Bank account. Are they enough to sponsor my infant or do i have to provide proof of more funds to qualify (refer IMM5481 Para2 & para3).
I have been self employed here in Pakistan for last one year and earning handsome amount as far as Pakistan is concerned but if I convert it into Can $ they hardly amount to Can $400/=. so I may show it as sabstantial earning as far as Canada is concerned.
Your advice on above said points requested.
Sincerely
Gilani

Hi Gilani,
This reply was posted a couple days ago in reply to someone who is a similar position as you. You can not sponsor your daughter outside of Canada. Please read the information below for directions on how to proceed.
The information below was on the settlement.org website. It was posted there July 29th. This should give you some guidance on applying for your daughter.
Hello all,
This post is our experience in bringing our infant daughter, who was born out of Canada, to Canada.
My wife and myself became PRs in 2002 and left Canada after a short stay. We have just moved back to Toronto after spending time in Dubai, the UAE, during which our daughter was born.
As a PR cannot apply to sponsor a child while residing out of Canada, we had to apply for a visa for our daughter to enter Canada.
We had to provide the following to the Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi:
1/. Proof of dispatch of personal effects to Canada.
2/. Cancellation of my daughter?s, my wife?s and my own UAE residence visas.
3/. Purchase of one-way tickets to Toronto.
4/. Proof that my wife and myself fulfilled the residency obligation for a PR on the date of our intended return to Canada.
Only then did the Canadian Embassy, Abu Dhabi issue a ?Temporary Resident Permit? (as opposed to a Temporary Resident Visa for short-term visitors).
This visa which they also variously referred to as a ?Minister?s Permit? and a ?Travel Document?, was issued for the specific purpose of further applying for a permanent resident visa for my daughter once all three of us had resumed residence in Canada.
I hope this information is of use of those in a similar situation
Regards - RCM
