Does anyone know if I should include Family information under Personal Details?

I got my ITA, and am currently filling out all the forms for PR application. under Personal Details > Family, they want to know about how much money i can bring and if i have any relatives in Canada. i have a sibling who is a PR there, and i am applying alone. should i enter details of family members (father mother, who are not part of my PR application) ?

i cant find any guidance on this anywhere. i really appreciate anyone replying. thank you so much!

Thanks for your appreciation and suggestion.

;D ;D If I do that then my beloved forum members and group members will kill me.

Rumel bhai, need one more free advice before you starting your consultancy firm ;D ;D

Will there be any issue if I land and settle in a place which I didn't write as my destination in the application? As you know in the COPR they mentioned the destination of the residence in Canada. I heard it's not an issue and we can land anywhere in Canada. But still want to hear about this from you.

You have right information. There is no problem to land anywhere in Canada. Its just an intention and its required for PNP program. As the form is common for all. So, if any PNP applicant intends to apply Manitoba and mention it in form then s/he cant not apply for another PNP in the same time. Otherwise his/her application will be rejected due to multiple intention to live in different provinces.

+1 for your question :)

Dear experts,

I am little bit tensed with the application processing of my new born baby. Me and my wife have received visa on December and our child was born on January 1st. I let CIC know about the new birth through CSE and SGVO through email on 4th January. Later I send them her nationality certificate and Birth Certificate on 11th January and requested them to send me a checklist to process her papers. But they didnt reply.

I again emailed them last week to send me a checklist. Still they didnt reply.

I am going on a official tour to India for 1 months in March. During this time it will not be possible to process documents.

1. What should I do now?
2. What documents do I need?
3. Will they communicate with me or I have to send them documents and bank draft?
4. Should I send dcouments to CIC or SGVO?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ruhee vai for giving me the chance for more clarification. :)

For your information:
Although any FSW applicant would be allowed to enter through a Quebec POE(Port of Entry), they cannot complete the 'Record of Landing' here. And would have to further drive/fly to another province (any) to report to its Immigration Officer for the 'completion' of record of landing. This is because Quebec needs the CSQ (Quebec Selection Certificate) to complete this procedure. Which only is for a Quebec PR applicant(who have the CSQ). However, it is not vice-versa. A Quebec PR applicant can do all the formalities in any other Canadian POE. He must be landing any POE in Quebec.

So, you can land Quebec also but your application status would not be completed until you have entered in different Province by Flying or Driving. Thats why for avoiding hassles, it is not recommended to land in Quebec at the first entry.

Hope it is cleared now.

Back in Nov 2015 when I raised a CSE informing about to be child, I got below response from MVO


Dear Applicant,


Thank you for your enquiry.

Your file has been transferred to the Visa Office of the Embassy of Canada in the Philippines and is queued for review by a visa officer.

A change in your family status may affect the processing requirements for your application or the category in which your application is processed. It may also affect the total processing time for your application. If you get married or divorced, give birth to or adopt a child, or if a member of your immediate family passes away while your application for permanent residence is in process, you need to advise the visa office as soon as possible of your change of family composition.

If you applied under the Economic Class, you must also take into account that the amount of money that you need to have to support your family is determined by the size of your family and the cost of living in Canada. Therefore, as your family size has increased, you must increase the amount of settlement funds required to immigrate to Canada. For more information go to: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp



To advise us of a change to your family composition, please send us a signed letter providing us with all required changes to your file. The following information must be included in the letter if we are to make the changes:


- full name,

- date of birth,

- file number [Letter followed by a nine-digit number],

- telephone number, including area code,

- fax number, including area code, and

- mailing address



As we require your signature on this information, please note that your current family composition has not been amended in our records.


How to add your child to your application:


Important: Note that if your child was born in Canada or if one parent is a Canadian citizen, then the child is a Canadian citizen. If that is the case, you do not need to add the child to your application, and no medical examination or fee is required. You must, however, send us a copy of the child’s birth certificate. You should also contact the Consular section of the High Commission of Canada to make sure the child has the appropriate travel document. See these Web pages for information:



You will be required to submit the following documents in order to add your child to your application:


- a letter explaining how your family composition has changed and requesting that your child be added to your application

- processing fee for the child (if accompanying you to Canada)

- an IMM8 application form and Family Information Form filled in for the child

- updated IMM0008 Generic and updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself and your spouse

- notarized copy of the child’s birth certificate

- copy of your child’s valid passport

- two recent passport-size photographs of your child according to the specifications



Copies of the original documents with original certified translations into English or French are required.



The required forms can be downloaded at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008DEPENU.pdf, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5645E.pdf, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM0008ENU_2D.pdf and http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5406E.pdf

Passport-sized photographs must meet these specifications: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs.asp

Information about the fees that must be paid can be found here: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/singapore-singapour/visas/fees-frais.aspx

Your child will need to undergo a medical examination. We will send you the appropriate form and instructions after receiving the documents listed above. Be aware that even non-accompanying dependants must undergo medical examinations.


We trust that this information will assist you in adding your child to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

You may find information about our processing times at this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp

Please note that, if your file is being treated within the time frames listed on the website, we will be unable to respond further to your query.

You may also check the basic status of your file on-line by using the “Client Application Status” function in the “On-line services” section of the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca

We will contact you if there is any further information we requir

We hope this information will be of assistance.
