Hello,
I have an adopted son and he is 2years old.
I adopted him from my sister in law when he was 13 months old. My husband recently got his pr for canada and he is sponsoring both of us.
Now the online site of cic says that they need court order but i have only adoption deed which is registered under subregistrar office. Please help will the deed suffice for canada.

Generally "adoption deed" is acceptable for grant of visa.
However, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer and file a declaratory suit, if the Embassy insists.

Yes adoption deed is sufficient proof of valid adoption in India and that was registered at sub-registrar office will suffice the requirements of Canadian immigration department.
The court order for adoption is required only in disputed matters or where the biological parents were not alive for giving the child in adoption, otherwise the registrated adoption deed is sufficient proof of valid adoption.
The Canadian authority will get the adoption deed checked through their local counsel in India and on his positive report that will be allowed.
