Hi,
I live in GTA, ON (on a close work permit). I received ITA on March 29, 2023. And on April 3rd we were blessed with the baby. I have only an Ontario birth certificate (which shows my name, and my spouse's name as parent). In this regard, I have a few questions.

1- In the post-ITA electronic form I have to declare my baby (Canadian citizen) as an "Accompanying child" or "Unaccompanying child"?

2- I do not have his Canadian passport right now and will apply soon but not sure that I will get it within the ITA deadline. So is it OKAY to put his Birth Certificate as an Identity document? Because according to the identity document definition, it should have a photo, issue date, and expiry date. But the birth certificate has only issuing date (no expiry date or photo)

Thanks,
