Hi,
Do any of you know how to add a family member (new born baby) while the CEC application in process (after passport request/PR Visa stamping).
Operation bulletin OP -25 released in June 2011 (Page
w w w.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op25-eng.pdf
It reads...
Family members can be added to the application at any time during the process, including after the visa is issued but prior to obtaining permanent resident status. Applicants should be counselled to inform the visa office immediately if their family
composition has changed. Please see
OP 2 Section 7.7 for more information on adding a family member during processing.
In OP 2 Section 7.7 page 40 ==> w w w.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf
New family members must be added and non-accompanying family members can become accompanying family members on an application of a person applying in the family class during the processing of an application. There may be occasions when a child is born to an applicant subsequent to the issuance of the visa but prior to obtaining permanent resident status. In these cases, it may not be necessary to create a new file and start processing all over again. All that is needed is to have the child added to the sponsorship, the processing fee paid and a medical examination done. See the CAIPS user guide for how to proceed in these cases.
Have any of you did it earlier? Please share your experience. Thanks in Advance
Wishing you a Happy and Wonderful New Year 2012 !!!! Lets all our dream and wishes come true !!!
