No problem even if you are informing CIC late about baby, we also informed CIC about baby when she was I guess 8 month old and was in Pakistan. The problem will occur if you do not tell at all and CIC gets to know by any other mean like interview etc. So do send a email ASAP stating the reason of being late (We dint even state any reason, just asked what forms do we need to fill for the new born etc)
They didn't question why you informed them late?
Where did you e-mail them?
I went to cic's website.. Do i send it to where it says change in personal circumstances? Once you click on that it pops up to send an e-mail to CPCM-EXTCOM@cic.gc.ca
Is this right? Or do we send it to islamabad's e-mail?

You can notify them but no need for sending everything. Just send a copy of birth certificate.
The baby is Canadian so CIC does not need to process the child.
Only letting them know that the PA is now father to a Canadian child
Could you please tell me where i should send them his birth certificate?
To cic or islamabad's e-mail?
Also.. His father's info. isn't on the certificate cause he wasn't in canada at the time.. That's not an issue is it?

Great idea handsup it will be beneficial to be prepared in advance :D

in addition to handsup post... a website I just stumbled across the following website pertaining to landing guides for all provinces of Canada

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-landing-guides.html

When you first arrive in Canada, there are many things you'll need to organize to set up your new life in Canada. These Landing in Canada Guides can help.

Once you get to Canada, you'll need to get a bank account, a drivers license, a social insurance number. You'll need to find a place to live, a school for your children, and you may need the services of immigrant-serving organizations.

Prepare for settlement in Canada. Take a look at the landing guide for the province/territory where you intend to reside:

Alberta Landing Guide
British Columbia Landing Guide
Manitoba Landing Guide
New Brunswick Landing Guide
Newfoundland and Labrador Landing Guide
Northwest Territories Landing Guide
Nova Scotia Landing Guide
Nunavut Landing Guide
Ontario Landing Guide
Prince Edward Island Landing Guide
Quebec Landing Guide
Saskatchewan Landing Guide
Yukon Landing Guide
Thanks you for sharing, it is a great help indeed.

No, nobody asked any question like that, PR in CA needs to call the Mississauga call center and inform the call center agent about the baby scenario and ask what needs to be done now. Agent will guide regarding docs (if needed any) and the B Certificate and the email id.

PS: Do not mention that you are late or anything like that. Just inform about the baby and get help regarding next steps to be taken.

Can't i just submit a case specific inquiry & provide them with his birth certificate on that?
He was born in canada so it's not like he needs to be processed with his father's case or anything..
Also.. His father's info isn't on his canadian birth certificate cause he wasn't there at the time.. That's not an issue is it? His birth is also registered in pakitsan with his fathers info. though, so..?

Better you call and get help, email will add more time and will become as ping pong ball. All you telling in post you might tell to the call center agent and get accurate and instant reply and help. Baby will be added to the father fie as non accompanying dependent that is it, no processing will be done on baby's data.

in responce to handsup's thread!

visit Service Canada office nearest you once you arrive. & they are more helpful than one can imagine(you can even look one up online). they provide all the info on SIN,JOB,Care Card & DL. PS- you can use Pakistani drivers license for i believe upto certain period here its like i think 1 year or so in certain cases before you have to go for a road test. once you apply for drivers licence and show them that you have had insurance(Claim free, basically no accidents on your insurance, clean record) even in Pakistan for a few years, your insurance can be reduced significantly even upto 45%.(But drivers licensing rules vary from province to province here, so keep that in mind too) and even with Job search and universities around you, all this information is available at Service Canada. hope this is helpful. but my advice(based on my experience) is to meet someone genuine who has gone through the same process lets say a few year back-its just quicker this way to learn about everything. those guide books can guide you to certain limits after that practically what happens is different for the most part.
singing up on job portals to find jobs to your related fields is a really good way to start along with studying your DL book for knowledge test right away when you get there.( most of this is available online to study)
there is another thing that can help most of you professionals out there who are planning to come here is to get your education recognized to whatever equivalent you get here. basically if you have done masters in polymer engineering(lets say) they will look at whatever courses you studied and what kind of courses they teach here and they will let you know how many and what course(if any) you need to study here before getting recognized by concerning engineering council. one of the Universities that does this online(you can scan and send them documents before you even get here and they will let you know) is BCIT.
http://www.bcit.ca.i am sure there are many more who do the same but i know this one as i have gotten some of my friends documents verified from here.
hope this was a bit helpful for some of you.

My advice is to submit a coloured copy of your baby's birth certificate and long form to London (assuming that's where you file is at) this will be considered additional information and may help your case... they may even remove you from the inteview queue and move on the next step In Sha Allah

Yes I agree with you that baby addition may remove her from IQ. may I ask why are you in IQ? what was the red flag?
