Hello MateThis is a terribly late response and I apologize in advance. I'm coloring a few of the steps in bright red just to show the importance.
I took the following steps and my son was added to my application within a week... this is after I wasted over a month trying to do the same through CSE.... I got my COPR in March, no hassles.
1- Have the following docs ready...
2- Call CIC and figure out where your application currently is... inside or outside Canada (you'll need this info in the next step)
- Son's birth certificate
- Son's passport
- Son's upfront medical (in case of EE)
- Updated POF to reflect new family composition
3- Raise a webform selecting change in family composition.. (NOTE: webform is different from CSE) Attach the above docs in the webform and submit. Wait for reply with further steps.
The next steps might be different for you but this is what I was requested to submit in 30 days.
4- Go to the online payment option and submit the dependent Processing Fees (NOTE: there is no RPRF for new borns or dependents below a certain age). Make sure you save a pdf of the receipt.. you will need it later
5- Complete IMM 0008 (to be completed by primary applicant ONLY). Complete this on your computer... Click Validate (this will create new pages with bar codes)... Print out the document.. Sign where necessary... put bar code pages on top and rescan (first page should be bar code pages and last page with your signature)
6- Complete IMM 5406 (to be completed by primary applicant AND spouse)... complete on your computer, print, sign and scan
7- Create an LOE explaining the change in family composition, also mention all the documents your attaching: birth certificate, passport, invoice, upfront medical, POF, IMM 0008, IMM 5406 for primary, IMM 5406 for spouse
8- Now you need to upload.. Go to MyCIC and check your application for placeholders for your newborn... Upload using the respective placeholders, double check and submit.
In the coming day's you'll get another message in your account as acknowledgment and your child will be added to the dependents section on your application.
I validated the IMM 008 form and it says that if I have made an online application, which is what Express Entry is, so I don't need to sign the form by hand.
"If you are applying online, you do not need to sign your application form by hand. You will be asked to provide an electronic signature once you are ready to transmit your documents to CIC."
Could you please advise if I can simply upload the filled forms as the prompt says.
