I selected No as an answer. Now they (meaning online application) think, my son is not coming with me and asking me for a reason Why is my first child not going to accompany me?

Well he is coming with me, I just haven't included him in my application because he is a Canadian passport holder and he doesn't need to be included.

This online application questionnaire has gone from "Not including my son in the PR application" to "Not accompanying me to Canada"

Have I answered correctly or this questionnaire is messing with me.?

In my case....
1. I said "yes" and/or accompanying (Canadian born child) with me.
2. I have asked to pay his PR application fee (CAD 150) along with his necessary documents to upload.
3. And, I paid it.
4. I mentioned about it in LOE
5. The amount was refunded to me a week after landing.

I hope this helps.

Feels good to hear from someone with similar case. I had selected No in the questionnaire (which comes in the beginning when you start application) and now I cannot change it in the forms which are generated afterwards in the application.

On the other hand, If I explain my situation in LOE, I may not get into hazard of paying application fee and get it refund in future.

If you want to change it, you can click the "change family information" button on the top. (I'm not sure about the text of the button, since my application has been approved, it doesn't show any longer).

I also have a Canadian child. And I just received CoPR recently.

On my CoPR, under the question "Have you any dependants other than those listed below?", only my wife is listed; and on my wife's CoPR, only me is listed. Our daughter is not mentioned on both CoPRs. Are yours the same?

And what's your answer for this question?

Thank you very much!

This is exactly I wanted to ask! I answered NO

However, When you are at the second stage where you can upload the documents, under your child section they're asking to upload the following:

Passports/Travel Documents (Multiple) (required)
Family Member Proof of Status (required) What should I upload here? Work permit?

Thanks,

I wish I could help but I am not at that stage in my application. I am completing(filling) some forms after questionnaire. They have not generated any check-list of document to upload for me yet. Let me know what you have done, so that it could be helpful to me too.

I did apply by selecting No. So what you need to is add the Canadian passport and birth certificate. If you haven't gotten the passport yet, duplicate the birth certificate in both places
