8 Months!!! Wow! Why did you not inform them immediately your baby was born or a day or 2 later? You informed them 6 days after you got your ppr, what do you expect them to think. If you present your passports now, how about that of your baby or are you leaving him/her behind? As it stands, ircc has no record of your baby. All the best with trying to reach them.

Just wanted to give a quick update with regards to my interview which went very well and I got my visa and COPR on the same day.
95% of the interview questions were work related and I was asked to attend with all my work documents, payslips and updated bank statement.

anybody who have a understanding of the Canadian immigration system please!!!
Did you actually inform CIC regarding the change in family composition also ? If not, you need to raise a CSE immediately, and send them an email also just to be safe. Did you pay the $150 fees also ?
London Visa office doesnt reply usually unfortunately, i mailed them a couple of times back in july - auto response said wait for 28 days for reply.
I added a newborn child to another application recently (this is pre PPR stage) , the name was added to the application on the my CIC portal. now finally BG is IP for the 2nd time.
Congrats bro. Few questions though, were you residing in Lagos as at the time you were scheduled for the interview in Accra? Secondly, were there no salary deposits in your account?, why and how did you respond to that question?
It was an exclamation, not a question. It referred to 8 months between aor and ppr

Thanks for the reply stoney.
I did not raise a SEC. I will do that now.
It will still take 20 odd days before i get the passport for the new born, hence i am not in a position to submit complete set of documents for my newborn. cic will give me 30 days when it opens a window to upload the required docs. I will pay the $150 fee when i upload the docs.
My real concern is that if i do not hear anything from London VO, should i submit our passports (minus the newborn of course) for copr to the vfs office?
Thanks again
Yes I was residing in Lagos, I submitted only my savings account that has $12,300 equivalent because of the unstable exchange rate. But when I was invited for interview, I went with both my savings and current account 12 months statement. I get paid into my current account and they could see this reflected every month.
