People who have added new born - pls respond

[CanadaPR90]

Hi,

Recently I have received IELTS with 16/16 points. We will be having new baby in next 2-3 months.

To avoid any issue of any IELTS validity later, due to unforeseen delay, I am thinking to apply to CIC NS (1st application to headquarter) ASAP.

I am just thinking to utilize this time and later add documents for baby once passport will be ready.

Is it better to wait for 2-3 months or if the process of adding new baby is not so complex, then better to apply now.

Also baby will be US citizen, but we are not - any specific issue in this at later stage ?

Please suggest.

Thanks,

CanadaPR

Dear CanadaPR90, you can apply now, no need to wait until your baby is born. Adding a newborn in your application is not complicated. You can inform Canada Immigration about the update when CIO requests a full set of documents & forwards your application to CIC. When mailing the full set of documents, write a cover letter mentioning the update (new born child).In the new declaration to CIC add your newborn's name & passport details. Other documents about children include Birth Certificate & passport copy, which is same for children born before applying.
Hope this helps.

addition of new born can only be done after birth(as per my judgement) since baby is not born yet. Nonetheless u can always write cover letter to chc for same and if they ask you anything do provide them same. otherwise in my opinion baby should be added upon birth, when one can send birth certificate report and passports etc
