Hi Bro,1) In how many days did IRCC typically replies to your webform for adding newborn ? I raised webform on 12th August.
I had initiated new born addition in the month Of Jan '20. Back then, IRCC responded to my webform query in 4 days. From that point, they took approximately 15 more days to update my EE application with the name of the new dependent and the placeholder. I had also received a request letter in the inbox, which specified all the docs that IRCC would ask for adding the newborn.
2) As you mentioned only one placeholder si opened, which all documents did you send via webform OR were you able to merge everything in single pdf ?
I had previously stated a list of documents. I had merged all those docs together in one pdf file and had uploaded through the placeholder. Now, the Request Letter won't mention anything about update 'Proof of funds' but you are required to share this also with IRCC. You can send this through a webform or include in the same placeholder if the file size permits. You have to show more funds with the new dependent.
3) Regarding medicals, did you ever got any request letter from IRCC ?
You can either use the webform response email that you receive in 4 days to book medicals or you can wait until your EE application gets updated with a placeholder. The second option is better as you can't be denied, since you receive a letter which specifies that medical is required for the child. I did with the first option as I was in a little bit of rush.
Hope I answered all the questions to your satisfaction. Cheers
I got below reply from IRCC --
To do so, we invite you to send your add-on request through the IRCC webform available on our website. You can attach the following forms and documents in the field reserved to that effect:
- A new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) with supporting documents,
- (If applicable) A Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) form,
- (If applicable) An Additional Dependants/Declaration (IMM 0008DEP) form,
- (If applicable) A signed Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) form,
- A copy of the birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship,
- A copy of the family member's valid passport,
- Police certificates for all countries where the family member over the age of 18 has lived for more than 6 months since turning 18,
- A letter of explanation, and
- If applicable, the proof of payment
So i have few queries, can you pls clarify --
1) I checked my CIC account, and I can't see any placeholder opened for uploading these forms and documents. Does it take time to reflect in CIC account ? How did you submitted all docs ?
2) Do me and my spouse need to submit Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) form ? Who needs to submit this ?
3) I only need to add one dependent, which is my son who is 5 months old, so apart from IMM0008 (only primary) and IMM5406 (for both primary and spouse), do I need to submit any other forms?
3) Should i take print out of this reply to book medicals ? I have not received any medical request for now.
Would really appreciate your assistance.
Thank you.
