has anyone increased family size after? My wife had new born and submitted online request to increase my family size and this is what they emailed me.
I assume I only need to re-submit Financial Evaluation form? because IMM 1344 and IMM 1344 has nothing to do with family size.
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
When you have a sponsorship application in process, a
family member of the person being sponsored could be added at a later date, even if they were listed as a non-accompanying dependant in the initial application.

- your client ID number/UCI,
- your file number,
- a detailed letter of explanation,
- a copy of the birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship, and
- if applicable, the proof of payment.
Useful tips
- If the newly eligible family member is a spouse, common-law partner or dependent child who is already a permanent resident or Canadian citizen, only the add-on request is required.
- Please ensure to write ADD-ON on the forms and on the envelope.
- If you would like proof that your application was received, we suggest that you use registered mail with Canada Post or a courier service such as Purolator, UPS, FedEx, etc.
We hope that this information will facilitate the process of family reunification.
