We study a genealogical model for continuous-state branching processes with immigration with a (sub)critical branching mechanism. This model allows the immigrants to be on the same line of descent. The corresponding family tree is an ordered rooted continuum random tree with a single infinite end defined thanks to two continuous processes denoted by $(\overleftarrow{H}_t ;t\geq 0)$ and $(\overrightarrow{H}_t ;t\geq 0)$ that code the parts at resp. the left and the right hand of the infinite line of descent of the tree. These processes are called the left and the right height processes. We define their local time processes via an approximation procedure and we prove that they enjoy a Ray-Knight property. We also discuss the important special case corresponding to the size-biased Galton-Watson tree in the continuous setting. In the last part of the paper we give a convergence result under general assumptions for rescaled discrete left and right contour processes of sequences of Galton-Watson trees with immigration. We also provide a strong invariance principle for a sequence of rescaled Galton-Watson processes with immigration that also holds in the supercritical case.
