:) Make sure you collect all the proofs including proof of visit (i.e. Passport stamps, boarding pass, tickets), take lots of photos and then send everything such as updated emails, chats, phone bills etc to them voluntarily after about 4 - 5 months to make your case stronger.

raptorsfan - same with me bhai on my wife's ecase too it shows my lawyer addres. I used to send forms for my wife to sign through register mail yeh it cost me more then usual but my wife alwyas gets my mail within 3-4 days. So I guess we dont have any option other then using fedex. If you want I can find out more info for you from my dad as he is the one who took care of it for me.

awwww lucky u mashAllah! i'm totally envying u right now :p and it could slow down ur process if ur initial review has started (which means they have opened ur file in Islamabad) but if it's still in queue for initial review then u still have time to send in more proofs. I personally feel if u've sent TONS of pics and proofs(like i did) initially then there shouldn't be a need to resend more proofs. Of course that's just my personal opinion!

I wouldnt think they would put you in interview queue for just informing them of the new born baby. If anything it makes your case strong(Humanitarian & compassionate reasons). And the old files that are being put into the new system GCMS are getting new files numbers starting with F00 so its nothing to worry about. In sha Allah you will hear from them soon too.

One more thing guys ! We had nikkah in Jan 2011 and planned to do ruksati after I get my visa. But I have seen in almost all the cases they are raising objections on nikah cases! Should I go for ruksati etc and send them all the pics before they ask or should I wait? Please advise..

why is the baby in Pakistan?....Canadian citizens could live with the applicant while the application is in process...its only for PR's that they have to live in Canada...citizens have a lot more rights than PR's...one power that a citizen has over a PR has to do with your situation...

According to Citizenship Act which was amended in 2009. If a baby is born outside Canada and one or both parents Canadian Citizen by birth or Naturalized(Landed Immigrant), then the baby is automatically Canadian Citizen. All that needs to be done is that the Canadian Citizen (in your case its the mother) needs to fill out a form where she will proof her citizenship and then the baby will become a Canadian Citizen....look into it....its your wife's right...its your baby's right...

EDIT:

THIS IS FROM CIC WEBSITE

The limitation affects the way people acquire Canadian citizenship outside Canada. It means that, in general, children born outside Canada on or after April 17, 2009, will only be Canadian at birth if they are born to a Canadian parent who was either born in Canada or became a Canadian citizen by immigrating to Canada as a permanent resident and subsequently being granted citizenship (also called naturalization).

yes,we have already been applied for our child's citizenship.it gonna take 12-18 months to process,but we can get temporary passport for her that is valid for 3 months and we can get only one time when application in process.but we want to apply for that once my application is done too so that father and baby can go togather
