Adding New born Baby after submitting the PR Application
- Thread starter ymenghani
- Start date
Hey guys.
I'm trying to add my new born son aswell. Got my AOR on Dec 2nd. My son was born on Oct 20 and finally got his passport, medical, birth certificate by Dec 15th.
I originally raised a CSE on Dec 17 and got no further instructions. I raised a CSE again yesterday and got the following email similar to OP.
What I'm trying to figure out is which forms i need to fill and submit. I'm confused because all except the first say 'if applicable'.... How do I know if it applies to me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pretty stressed out here.

Hello, may I ask if you and your partner have already got your visas, which is why you are planning to do soft landing with baby.
Also, I am in similar situation: my baby is due in March 2019 for time being I have not yet received PPR (medicals done in October 2018). I am Quebec skilled worker applicant. Do you think that if I add baby right after birth, he will be added rapidly to my application?
Thanks in advance
Hello Dear,
I am in same boat and do not know what to do. Raised CSE on 2nd Feb no reply yet very stressed now and do not know what to do next. You got response from them at least. Do you know how you will upload all documents over Webform in CSE, as webform will only allow you to upload 3 MB of data collectively...??
To best of my knowledge you need to submitt following documents :
A new (updated) Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) just add another dependent in form as It allows you to do so.
A signed Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) form (both you and your spouse need to fill up separate signed copies of this form)
A copy of the birth certificate
A copy of the baby's valid passport
Payment receipt of CAD 150
A letter of explanation (I do not know what to write exactly but I guess you should explain them about baby birth and request them to add)
Updated proof of payment (if you are outland applicant) you need to show them that you have sufficient settlement funds after addition of another family member.
Not sure about baby photographs (being paper based applicant I submitted my whole family photographs when submitted application to CIO,Sydney).
I hope this information will help you up to some extent.
Regards
Thanks for the input! I initially raised a CSE on Dec 17 and got an automated response... no further instructions. I then waited patiently. Assuming IRCC would be off for Xmas and New Year’s. Come Feb I got a little worried and raised another CSE. This time they responded with the email I shared.
I then went to the web form and it asked if my application was being processed outside Canada. I originally thought, "Well, yeah! I'm applying from outside Canada." When you select outside it says pick your VAC and for Pakistan, mine turned out to be Abu Dhabi... For whatever reason, I decided to call the IRCC helpline, waited 45 min for an agent.
The agent wasn't a help in terms of what forms I need to submit but he did tell me that my application is in Ottawa, so now I'll be selecting "Inside Canada".
I'd suggest you give them a call as well, been almost 10 working days since Feb 2nd hasn't it? Be sure to ask where your application is, you'll need that when submitting the web form... assuming that's the path they recommend to you as well.
I'm planning on doing the following:
1- Complete IMM0008 and add both my wife (already a part of my original application) and son (this will be the new addition) as dependents. (1 pdf)
2- Fill IMM5669 on behalf of myself and wife (1 pdf)
3- Fill IMM5406 on behalf of myself and wife (1 pdf)
4- LOE explaining the situation, son's birth certificate, son's passport, son's medical, updated POF, $150 receipt (1 pdf)
5- Son's photo (1 jpeg)
2- Fill IMM5669 on behalf of myself and wife (1 pdf)
3- Fill IMM5406 on behalf of myself and wife (1 pdf)
4- LOE explaining the situation, son's birth certificate, son's passport, son's medical, updated POF, $150 receipt (1 pdf)
5- Son's photo (1 jpeg)
Now comes the challenge of the 3mb limit. I’m going to try and compress all the scans and image and add multiple files. If that doesn't work, I guess the only solution would be multiple web forms till I get all the documents through.
I'm also looking for an email id for Ottawa... If I get that, I'll send all attachments to that email id as well. To be honest, I'm not comfortable sending it to an email id, this is private information... don't want it getting into the wrong hands.
Any thoughts on the matter?
Well thanks for your reply some of the information would definately help me .
Well under which programe you have applied ?
Are you paper-based outland applicant for PR?
I wish I could send all documents by post again to the same office I submitted my application to , but I guess thats not how it works we have to go through Web form and then wait ages for IRCC reply and then wonder again how to do next .

Hello Dear,
1- Time is not specified and it could be done in a week or can take few month all depends of IRCC.
2- Depends on type of application express entry applicants are allowed to have upfront Medicals where as other applicants wait until IRCC request.
3- Did not really understand this question ( You delayed your mrs medical and now IRCC will only process and make decisions once whole family will pass medicals and other process are done at IRCC end)
4- Yes medical expires after 1 year, if your case decision is not made within year from your medicals date IRCC will ask to re done medicals.
5- No one really can tell you when your application outcome will be decided, its all upto IRCC when they will finishing processing your application decision will be made.
6- Wait and only wait.... IRCC will let you know if they need any thing from your side like additional document, new medicals, interview etc...
I am also in process of adding new born baby and I think you are the one who can help me with the process. Could you please tell me if you are paper-based applicant or express entry ?? Under which program you have applied your PR?
Did you submit new born baby documents via mail or over CSE web-form?
Regards
Dear Gemini_june,
I am an express entry candidate. You need to follow the below process to get the new born added:
"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Thank you for your reply .
Which office you select while submitting CSE webform (Inside Canada or Outside Canada)?
How you managed to submit all supporting documents and forms along with your inquiry as space they provide is very limited and only 3 MB.
please share your experience.
Regard,
I emailed my visa office with all the relevant documents and they replied back in a week with the requirements for the child including an upfront medical request, passport copy and proof of funds. nothing else required.
What i want to know is that where to upload these documents. There are three new slots open in my cic account under my name but under my sons name there is no slot simply mentioned that no further documents required. So should I just upload the documents under my tab in the open slots? is it fine?

Hello Awais,
you should upload documents where slot is opened . You should feel lucky that they have responded you so quick. I am going through same process and never heard from IRCC even after couple of webforms . I am paper-based outland PR applicant currently my file is in London Visa Office. Which visa office is handling your file dear?
Hi Moriss,
We are planning to do a soft landing with the baby sometime in the first week of April. You need to inform IRCC of ANY and ALL changes that occur that materially affect your application. Having a baby is one such change. And yes, once you inform IRCC of the baby and submit all the necessary documents, your baby will be added to your application within 1 month.
Hello,
I submitted my PR application in Express Entry in November 21st, after that i got married.
On Jan 4th through webform I informed CIC about my marriage, attached marriage certificate and I would like to add my wife to the profile. I didn't get any response except an an email saying We verified the information you provided and have forwarded it to the responsible office.
On Jan 19th I called CIC , they said they haven't received any information, they sent me few forms and list of required documents over email and asked me to submit through webform.
On Feb 4th I submitted all the forms and documents as requested in the email.
On Feb 6th I received an email which says
We are pleased to confirm the reception of the following documents:
We have forwarded them to the responsible office for their consideration.
On Feb 6th I called CIC and informed that i submitted the documents and asked what will be the next steps. The agent said with in 10 days it should be updated in my online account if not you may require to send the documents by mail to the local office as this is the 2nd time i submitted the information through webform.
On Feb 21st I called CIC and the agent says the submitted documents will not be shown in the online account and it is in process.
My question is, will i see my wife's information in the online account or not and if i wanted to submit my wife's documents to the CIC office what is the address. Is there anybody who faced similar kind of issue or whose application is processed without showing the information in the online account.
Thanks in Advance
