Adding Newborn to PR Application after PPR for Outland Applicant

[hpmn2019]

Received PPR yesterday asking to submit passports for stamping. Wife is pregnant due on July 12. Would it be better to:

A) Send passports now, get the COPR and stamping, wait for baby to be born and then tell IRCC about newborn; OR
B) Tell IRCC now about wife pregnant and needing to update application in July and waiting for their instructions.

What are the risks or benefits of each strategy? If we go with A) do we need to get fresh stamps (my wife and I) after baby is born and included in the application or can we use the same ones? Would we need new COPRs?

Hi, I'm exactly in the same boat. I received my PPR in this month, just 2 days before the birth of my newborn child. I have raised a webform with child's birth certificate and other necessary documents. Have you got your updated PPR yet? Could you please share your timeline for newborn addition and revised PPR. TIA

@makintosh - We spoke with an attorney who told us following Option A is not advised as the visas foils are invalidated once we notify IRCC of the newborn. So we followed Option B. Here's the timeline. Can you share yours?

PPR Received: 6/5/2025
Newborn Born On: 7/7/2025
IRCC Responds via Email with List of Forms and Documents to Submit: 7/22/2025
Submitted Documents: 7/29/2025

Since then, it's been radio silence. I've called and they've said documents have been received and are being reviewed, and have asked to sit tight, and wait. Last update in the Notes is from 7/22/2025.

Thank you for responding to my query. 3+ months wait without any update is tedious.... I hope and pray that you get your updated PPR soon.

My timeline is as follows:

Birth of Newborn: Oct 07, 2025
PPR Received: Oct 09, 2025
Raised Webform: Oct, 24, 2025

I haven't received any correspondence from IRCC yet except the auto-reply, waiting for ADR to submit additional documents, medicals and submit PR fee etc. Finger crossed!
