Baby born during the course of spouse visa application....

[atinder]

Hi
I am a Canadian resident and had applied for my spouse's sponsorship in June this year. At the time of her medical , it was clear that she is pregnant with my baby. Now, as her file is in process, she has given birth to a child. I am very confused that whether to intimate the Canadian high commission through email or to just apply for a fresh sponsorship of my baby. I was told that if I intimate the authorities, my wife's file could also be put on hold. Please help me with getting my family as soon as possible to Canada. I shall be really thankful.

TRY to add your baby as your dependent

 

[truesmile]

The baby MUST be added to your wife's application and be examined. If you do NOT do so, your baby will be excluded from the Family Class and cannot be sponsored after that. This point cannot be over-emphasized. Do NOT let your wife land as PR before you sort this out.

An email to the CHC is NOT sufficient.

Was the baby born in Canada? If not, are you a Permanent Resident or are you a Citizen?

 

[atinder]

Do I need to start the baby's case from the beginning from the case processing centre at Missisauga or could I just forward the dependant declaration to the regional office, as my wife's file has already reached the regional office at New Delhi from Canada. I shall be really thankful if you could help me with this a bit more specifically.

 

[truesmile]

You don't have to start from the beginning. I would start with a CSE Case Specific Enquiry to your VO. Others have also done this and may provide input.

 

[atinder]

I am a permanent resident of Canada and the baby was born in India. My wife's application is also pending in India.

 

[Leon]

You must write to the visa office with your case number and inform that your wife has given birth and that you will be adding the infant to the sponsorship application.

Then go through all the forms and sort out which forms would include the baby on them. Re-do those forms and send them to the visa office.

Did the people who told you that if you tell the authorities about the baby, your wife's file could be put on hold, also tell you that if you do not tell the authorities about the baby, and your wife lands, you will never be able to sponsor the child?
You have to add the child to your wife's application. Do what Leon suggested.

You or your family members will also need to inform the Canadian visa office about adding this person on demand.

* A family member is a spouse, de facto spouse, dependent child or dependent child of a dependent child .

"You or your family members will also need to inform the Canadian visa office about adding this person on demand."
The bolded part should say "to the application."
I would also write "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" on the forms and the envelope, not "add".

I would write "adding family member to application" but not important what they write as long as they send the forms.

As for the consequences of not doing it, the visa granted to the wife based on no children is actually invalid if she has already had children in the meantime. If she lands on this visa without having added the baby, she will be committing misrepresentation and it is possible that immigration would revoke her PR.

You sent passport to ND office for? Did they request passport for stamping? or is it part of the process?...You could inform the Visa Office about the pregnancy with a medical proof, file number etc - it is always better to keep them informed.

If your wifes PR is approved and stamped before the birth...there is nothing you can do about it. Then if your child is born in canada - its good and simple (since he/she will be canadian by birth)...if not you will have to file a sponsorship application for your new born - processing time is a few months.
