Adding accompanying child while submitting e-APR

Hey all,

I wanted to gain some clarity on a subject: I recently received my ITA under the FSW stream on May 24th. I have a non accompanying spouse and as I understand it, we can add dependant children while filling out the e-APR. I want to add my daughter as an accompanying dependent who is currently 8 months old. My consultant tells me that it will weaken my application and that I shouldn't do this without having a concrete reason since her mom would not be travelling. Can someone guide me as to whether IRCC has an inherent way of making decisions based on such circumstances? My reason to bring her along is so to have her naturalize into the culture during her infancy rather than a later point in time. Do VOs traditionally have a bias around addition of infant dependants without mothers to PR applications?

Wrong section of the forum. Post to the Express Entry section.
