Also make sure to provide that your POF is sufficient for the new family members count. (+1) member.

Congratulations
Thank you for your well wishes. I had mentioned in my LoE that the POF that I had provided with my initial e-APR docs covers the minimum amount required for an additional family member and can provide the updated version if requested.

Hi, I received my AOR on Dec 16 2020. I had my newborn on Jan 29 2021. I have sent documents yesterday to IRCC to add my newborn as a dependent to my e-APR. I have submitted the IMM008 generic application form along with supporting documents (proof of payment, birth certificate, passport copy, medicals, marriage certificate). Can anyone advise if I need to submit the IMM5406e additional family information form as well? @legalfalcon would appreciate if you have any information on this topic. I read on the link you shared "Adding wife / child to the EE - https://goo.gl/4UGWCn" that IMM5406e is required but I am not sure about this. Thanks!
the list of documents required to add a new born are:

Thank you. For the IMM5406 it mentions “if applicable”. Is it applicable for adding a new born as a dependent?

Brilliant. How did you do it please? Also did they give you an update re your application status? Thanks.
I used the app ‘TextNow’.. got a local Canadian number.. called IRCC at their helpline.. waited for 45 min in the queue. Yes, the agent did give me additional updates that I was not able to get from my online account.

Just one more question please, I've seen several people saying they can't get a canadian number on the 'textnow' app anymore, did you get the number recently or a while ago?

I also tried to call, but its not possible to talk directly to the agent without having to listen to the automatic response and typing the number of your application on the dial pad and hear all that you already know and what’s shown on your page?

Just spoke to a very nice IRCC agent who was willing to answer all my questions.

AOR - December 2020

Eligibility- Passed ( I asked whats the difference between recommended passesd and passed. She told me that when it is recommended passed- it means its almost done but not officially passed. But when its passed- that means its officially passed.)

Criminality - passed

Security- pending

File still at Central Intake Office and will be sent to Ottawa Office in future.

Seems like your application is running fast and smooth!

The PA, spouse and all dependent children have to fill their own copy of IMM5406.

I called IRCC on 16 Feb. I just now tried to get a Canadian number using the same app and I got one.
