Adding a dependent child after Express Entry Application Submission

[vjexpress2019]

Me and my wife submitted our Express Entry application in November 2019 and our son was born around mid year and eventually in October we got some activity in our application asking us to submit the remaining docs. I told them about out newly born son, they asked us to do the following
- Submit Imm0008 general application form.
- Submit passport details
- Submit birth certificate
- Submit Photographs

I have following questions regarding this process

- In Imm0008 form, what should be the "Program under which you are applying"? I cannot find any suitable options for express entry.
- For Photographs, I submitted 35 by 45 size digital photo, as thats what we submitted while submitting express entry application. The specifications says 50 by 70 but that is once they asked for photos , right?
- Do I need to submit any other application along with Imm0008? I was going through other application but those information has already been submitted with my express entry profile.
- Is there any other docs missing?
- Also, in the profile I already see one document submission for general application form, rest of the documents I need to submit through webform? (though I already submitted though webform)

I asked the same questions in their webform but they could not answers these questions and send a generic answer.

Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

All documents are for the Kid - Passport, Birth Cert and Photo.
Imm0008 - is for three of you as with new family member your and your wife's family information has changed, so need to submit that again.

I hope this help.

Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trade, Canadian Experience Class, Provincial Nomination are all programs under Express Entry. You have to select yours.

Thanks for the reply, I already filled Imm0008 form and just validating info, but do I need to fill forms like Imm5406e / 5669e/5690e. Though no mention of these in the request letter.

Thanks, I would be selecting Canadian Experience Class as it matches with Express Entry process.

you need to fill in Imm5406e for you and your wife.

Thanks, I read about this in other post as well. But whats the reasoning behind filling this form, as I already provided information regarding this while submitting profile. Also, in the forms upload section I only see one entry for uploading Imm0008 form not other.

You mean that's the program that you applied under, right?

Family information for you and your wife will change as you have new family member. You will need to update the section where you have written your siblings and immediate family members.
