Thanks a lot for the responses
@makintosh
I uploaded both on two occasions first when the birth certificate came in and the 2nd I attached the passport along with the web form. I will also try to pay the fee and try to upload its receipt.
In the worst case scenario, do you suggest flying before CoPR expires?
Additional note: Our application is being processed outside Canada, in India.
I had called the RCIC and checked and they mentioned they haven't received any web form requests and it must have been stuck or to be processed in India (New Delhi).
As another respected member mentioned in the thread above, IRCC invalidates the existing COPRs in case there is any change in the family composition. So, in case you still want to travel, how can you travel without the visa issued to your newborn? In case you want to travel solo, it may add a lot of complication into your otherwise straightforward case. So, keeping in mind IRCC rules, I won't recommend you travelling.
I'd recommend you to do the following asap;
Go to the web form and write the following;
Dear Visa Officer,
I am writing to inform you of a recent change in my family composition. My wife and I have recently been blessed with a [baby boy or baby girl], and I would like to request that he/she be added as a dependent to my completed Permanent Residence application.
My application has been approved already and I have received the visa counterfoil and COPR doc for the existing family members; however, I understand that it is essential to update my application before I finally travel to Canada. Therefore, I kindly request that my new dependent child be added to my application and his/her visa and COPR be processed.
