Adding newborn after COPR
- Thread starter pranaam
- Start date
My CoPR was expired in January 2022. I sent the documents to IRCC through a webform to add my newborn to the application before CoPR was expired. I received a reply from them saying that they have verified the information forwarded that to the responsible office. It's been 5 months, I haven't heard anything from IRCC. I haven't followed up even once during this time. Any thoughts on the timeline?
Hi Victorious,
They will contact you, you just need to be patient, unfortunately it takes time.... Wish you all the best... By the way we are on the same boat..
Some of my friends got it within 1 year the other within 9 month
Hi everyone,
Our CoPR will expire by June 18th 2022,
we adopted a newborn on April 26th 2022,
we kept wrinting cse web forms to IRCC since the first day... We nevez received any reponse from IRCC...
We have got flight tickets for Canada for June 7th 2022.
If we make a soflanding, will we have any chance to sponsor our daughter ?
Or should we wait for IRCC response and let CoPRs expire ?
What do you advise guys ?
We are more than lost...
Thx in advance

Did you legally finished all the adoption process?
If you did, do not land with current COPRs. If you do, you will never be able to sponsor your adopted child.
We actually did finish all the adoption process : administrative and legal processes.
Looks like a Gamble : if IRCC never replies saying "do not Travel" and we find ouselves with expired CoPR, IRCC can still have the possibility to refuse openning our case.
Thanks for the information
Question ; did your Copr expire before IRCC reopened your cases ?
Regards
To benefit others, posting here again on the latest update. Since many have been messaging me, please use this first comment first as I will not be able to provide any specific questions related to your case.
IRCC finally came back first week of June 2022, requesting for police verification in our case it was FBI(residing in the US). Once it was uploaded the. next step was to retake the medicals. As of today June 30th 2022. The latest update that I see in mycic/dashboard is "Review of medical results - June 17, 2022:You passed the medical exam."
I expect the next step from them could be requesting passport to be mailed for COPR. The re-process exactly started April 2021.
Note: We already had our COPR done in Jan 2020 but could not travel because of Covid and then followed by baby born dec 2020. So I requested to add baby before travel.

We are in the same situation right as you. Adoption process completed after CoPR is issued. Since July 2022, IRCC has not responded, all documents sent to them. A kind of confused on what to do, also concerned if the Copr expires and IRCC refuses to reopened our file. Pls let us keep up the communication and explore options.
Hello Everyone!
For everyone asking if they can land after COPR and then sponsor newborn baby. DO NOT EVER EVER DO THIS MISTAKE! WE DID THIS AND REGRET IT!
So let me explain our situation. We received our 5 COPRs on June 29 2022. my newborn baby was born on 17 April 2022 and we already notified IRCC, submitted her passport, birth certificate and payed the fees. However, we did not hear from IRCC despite so many follow ups, our status on the website showed approved so we booked our tickets for 24th August and landed at Vancouver airport. The moment they asked us if we had any dependent and we told them yes but IRCC never issued her visa. They seized our COPR and passports and allowed us to stay in Canada without any legal papers. It has now been more than a month, we do not have any PR, SIN, my husband is not allowed to work, my kids aren't allowed to go to school UNTIL OUR NEWBORN BABY's application is processed. We received request from IRCC on 13th Sept to submit all her documents including the medical, my family back home got it done and I submitted to them on 22nd Sept. We are still waiting to hear from IRCC until then we are stuck with no legal document what so ever. What's worse? If I travel to bring my baby, my visa will be cancelled and IRCC will have to issue new visa. Our current COPR's are cancelled and once my baby is added to our application they will issue new COPRs for all of us. Now, for me this was suppose to be a soft landing, I still have my job back home and I am stuck here because of this situation. Thankfully I do have my sister who holds a valid visit visa to Canada so she can bring my newborn baby to Canada with our notarized consent. But, we are stuck and we have no clue at all how much time will IRCC need to process her visa. So please, stay wherever you are and wait for the baby to be added to your current COPR. If you read this, thank you for your time and I hope your application will be processed soon.
