I brought up the same issue in a different thread but did not receive any responses. I'm looking for advise from folks who are or have been in my situation.
Situation:
My partner and I married outside of Canada and currently reside in Canada on work permit. I applied for PR in August 2024 and received my eCoPR earlier this week, while my non-accompanying spouse is still on work permit. Our child was born after I submitted my PR application, and I notified IRCC via webform a few days after. In addition, when I received my first portal email (Portal 1 / P1), I listed my spouse and our child as Non-accompanying Dependant Child (born in Canada).
In my eCoPR, I see that my spouse is listed as Non-accompanying under 'DEPENDANT(S) INFORMATION', which is accurate. However, our child is not included/listed in my eCoPR.
So, is it okay if my child is not added as a dependant? I realize that my child is a Canadian citizen by birth, but I'm a little confused. Could someone who has been in a similar situation clarify my doubt?
Thanks for any help!
