Hi
I have a question regarding adding a child to the application. We live in the US and my child was born 2 months ago so he is a citizen by birth. Out PR application is in progress and I need to add him too. So does he need a medical exam?

Did they ask you or your spouse for biometrics when they sent you adr?
When i added my spouse in March, 2019, i sent all the documents and paid $1000 alongside. The mistake is did was that i, unknowingly, did not paid the $85 biometrics fee. My spouse got added to my file in Feb, 2020. Got the spouse's medical in Feb, 2020 but didn't receive the BIL letter. And then after covid, everything is silent. I have paid $85 fee two months ago, but they haven't issued a BIL letter yet.
I am exempted from biometrics as i applied in 2018.

We are in the same boat. I received PAL in 2018. Did you receive PAL first time?

I paid all three fees around 1124 including biometrics as well but when I got adr there wasn’t anything regarding biometrics for my wife and mine is done last year when applied for WORK PERMIT but I got pre-arrival on 17 October 2020 and I call to IRCC call center they told me yours everything is passed medical, background, criminality and security as well just waiting for final decision.. I told him about biometrics and he said record says don’t need anything

That pre-arrival could be only on yours eligibility but ones you add spouse they start from the beginning and check eligibility again so after second adr if you get pre-arrival that’s your final pre-arrival

Does anyone know difference between IMM1017B and IMM1017E?

My application for Permanent residence is in process and in the meantime I am trying to get the visitor Visa. But its asking me for IMM1017B. My medical-IMM1017E is valid until January 2021. Has someone faced similar issue before? I am currently in Canada and got renewed work permit yesterday.
Please assist.

You have to send a webform to IRCC informing your marital status change. You could attach the following documents with the webform.
  • imm0008enu_2d
  • imm5406e - principal applicant
  • imm5406e - spouse
  • imm5669e - principal applicant
  • imm5669e - spouse
  • Letter of explanation
  • Spouse's - Open Work Permit (if there is any)
  • Spouse's - Passport
  • Wedding pictures
  • Any relevant supporting doc
I applied through express entry with OINP PNP. What should I select under Category in imm0008enu_2d forum ? Is it Provincial Nominee or Federal Skilled Worker ?
Im an outland applicent with COPR and im going to marry in next month before landing.
