You need to update IMM0008 (change to accompanying dependant) and send the updated form and a explanation letter through IRCC webform to your visa office.

Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008)
Dependant’s Personal Details
Question 11
  1. Check the box to indicate whether or not, your dependant will accompany you to Canada.
  2. If you answered “No”, provide the reason why your dependant is non-accompanying.
If the child is a minor....you will have to fill and also send IMM5604.....review...checklist....3. Additional Information about Children.

My fiancé (sponsor) uploaded everything,in the webform last night around 10pm I was surprise got back a response 11am today saying theagent acknowledge and it will be forwarded to the officer doing my application, I also included the $150 adding accompanying child to the application, only thing I was concern , the updated generic IMM0008 form I electronically signed and uploaded on the webform is that ok or it requires the hand signature? I scanned the hand sign one but the file was too big too upload in the webform.

Signatures
If signatures are missing, we will return the application without processing it.
Note: IRCC will normally accept forms with photocopies of signatures. However, you may be asked to provide the original copy of your forms with an original signature if an IRCC officer determines it is necessary.
  • Remember to check for a signature block on each form and sign when needed. If forms are not signed in the correct places, and by the correct people, we will return your application without processing it.
