My husband is about to do his landing interview on Tuesday. I just noticed on his COPR that it doesn’t list any dependants; because he did not have any at time of application.

Our daughter was born on October 11th, here in Canada. And we did notify our VO a couple of days later.
The COPR was issued on the 25th, with no dependants.

Is that ok, since she was born in Canada? I just don’t want an issue at our landing interview about undeclared dependants.

As long as you notified the VO, it should be fine. Child is Canadian citizen anyways so this should have no impact on anything.

i believe that because she is a canadian citizen, you are fine, this will be the same with us as my baby is due in a few weeks.. you should call CIC to verify though

Canadian children are never listed on the COPR. She is not a dependent, so she can't be considered an undeclared dependent even if you hadn't informed IRCC of the birth. No issue.

Hi. I hope you are still active on this forum. What about if the child is a US Citizen? I am the principal applicant and my husband has a child with a former girlfiend. Do I need to declare the child in my EE application? I am under MPNP, and they said that I do not need to declare the child. I am not sure on CIC stage.

The child must be declared in the PR application.

Hi, I hope you’re doing well. I’m facing similar situation. My baby was born on 29 Feb 2020 in Canada and my inland interview date is 7 March. I will not have a baby birth certificate before interview because it takes a month to get it. Should I inform CIC through webform about the newborn baby or not?

What you will recommend me based on your interview experience. How did you make out your interview a years ago. Any leads would be highly appreciated. Thanks
