Addition of New Born / Express Entry / AOR Received / FSW
- Thread starter Canmah
- Start date
I got a ghost update on my online account. No email or letter. When I clicked the "view dependents" on profile, I can now see my newborn daughter's name with a UCI assigned to her. So this was pretty quick, given that I had uploaded the documents for adding my newborn only 8 days ago (10 Feb).

Just a correction on this. UCI number is actually different for each person in the application. But I think application number is the same
Hey Arjun
Thanks for the detailed timeline update, really helpful. My timeline is very similar to yours. Hopefully you receive the PPR soon, congratulations! Good to see a progress on your file.
Hi
I have received a request for remedicals from IRCC today.we have done upfront remedical exam on January 22nd. Since the IME number is different it's not yet updated and have submitted the acknowledgement letter via a Webform .
Now how do we go about this. To link our medical to the given IME number. And how long does it take

Please share if you have any further updates on your file like visa ready email? My case is very similar to you. I uploaded documents for my newborn on 24th Feb and my profile got updated on 25th Feb with my new born details.

28-Feb-2022: Ready for visa email (but no change in online account, which I guess is consistent with what others are seeing)
Hey congratulations ! Hope to see some moments in our profile soon. Thanks for updating us.
Hey team, need your opinion on the below.. I sent a webform to ircc almost 2 weeks ago to update my application with my new born. I also attached all required document including upfront medicals.. However I didn’t receive a response and he’s yet to be added.
Today I sent an email to Ottawa visa office email with all the documents again today.. do you think this won’t hasten the process of addition.
Please advise if there’s another option to have this done as it seems ircc are not attending to webforms. thanks

Hello Arjun, first of all congratulations to you and your family. Wish you get the COPR for baby very soon. I am in kind of same situation as you were earlier. I am an outland Express Entry CEC candidate. I got my COPR and stamped passports Dec 2021. We blessed with our baby in January 2022. Post my baby birth I just raised an webform to inform IRCC about the same. It's almost 4 weeks now but haven't received anything yet. Just waiting for any update. Meanwhile I have prepared my baby's birth certificate and Passport. What do you suggest me now.
1. Should I wait for IRCC reply and then act on it OR I can raise another webform including all documents.
2. Should I go ahead and do upfront medical for my baby or should I wait to get confirmation from IRCC.
3. Can I parallel raise a tourist visa for my baby as a second option.
Our COPR expiry is near in next 4 months and I want to travel before that to avoid re-medicals for me and my wife again.
Thanks.
