There's no way to change the application to inland, just update address. Landing can be done in Canada.

It won't change it to an inland app but for a minor the advantage of an inland - the open work permit - is irrelevant.
So I should just submit a web form highlighting my new Canadian address (in Quebec) instead of my address abroad?

Yes one can do that but put your fingers crossed to get approve for TRV, especially if you didn't declared your dependent.
thanks.. I already had a TRV for the baby. So I should just submit a web form highlighting my new Canadian address (in Quebec) instead of my address abroad?

Hi everyone,

I'm about to start my PR process, but I'm a little confused about some things
Firstly, my kids are minors, do I have to apply for PR alone? If yes, do I mention I have kids during the application process?

Secondly, if I apply with them and we all get PR must I travel with them (I'm asking because it might be a bit difficult settling down),or can they arrive Canada at a later date?

Lastly, if I only get PR, how can I bring my kids to Canada

When you apply for PR
Everyone must be on it regardless if they come now or later
I suggest you submit their passports now when you are all approve instead of doing like us here, applying for them again later. They have until their medical expires to arrive normally. So if you get approved and medicals were sent now in june, you have til june next year. Sometimes ppl have to redo medicals just before getting their passport request for the visa. So it gives them a full year, but if u only get approved next January then you only have til june that same year to use that one entry visa for the PR.
Hope this helps!

Hi Friends,

Any ideas how to connect paper application? I got the medical request today and it has my child UCI number. The email has an attached form for the medical but there is no information in the email body. I tried to link the application earlier and I was not able to connect the file, Below are the details I am adding in the form:

Category: Permanent Residence
Sub Cat: Family Class (Dependent child)

Then in additional details, I am selecting UCI and Application number. I am adding my child UCI (new number) and the application number from the email.

Under Applicants details, I am selecting Passport and providing my child passport details

Under other details, I am adding province, city and martial status = Single (child's)

Then under number of family member in the application, I was adding 1, but last time I checked with CIC they asked to add 2 (myself and my child).

I have created the GC account using a different email address, I had my old account with my email but that account is not working, so I created a new with new email address.

Thanks.

I ran through the same problem but in the end i realised that my wife was a co-signer so the number of family member in the application was 3. Just in case if your husband is a co-signer put 3 instead of 2

I didn't put my spouse as co-signer, but I will try this. Does rest of the details looks good to you?

Also I have 2 kids, one is already on PR here, so Shall I try total family member as 4?

Perhaps it is not ready to be linked
Ours was only linkable after the medical for some odd reason.
Weird!
Usually its the applicant
Sponsor and co signer if applicable. Us we are 3 so 3 worked.

Application status is changed from "in progress" to "Application received"
what does it mean? Also any idea what is the ETA after this step?

Note that, Sponsor was approved already and Medicals completed too

Thank you. Any ETA approximately after this?
Your guess is as good as mine. We applied may 20, 2021, AOR May 27, SA and Medical June 10,2021. June 23, 2021 medical passed. Ecas stated application received today meaning processing office has received so who knows from here. our dependant is only 9 years old so background and criminal are not required...... I hope its fast.
From my understanding they look to process kids quickly within 6 months but all depends on them from here on in
