Hi,

In response to 'ready for visa' email, I informed the birth of my child to ircc. However, I mentioned that I do not want to add my child in my application. But, I received a request letter in my account acknowledging my intention to add my child in my application and asked me to submit documents within 30 days. They said if I failed to meet the deadline, they will make a decision on the existing documents and the application could be rejected. I saw a link has been opened in my account to upload documents.
How can I inform ircc that I DO NOT WANT TO ADD my child to my application? How can I send reply to IRCC that I never intended to add my child. Is it mandatory to add children in PR application?

My child is a US citizen and I believe he can accompany me in Canada while landing without any visa. Is that correct? My spouse and I, intend to land in Canada and stay there for 2-3 weeks. Will my child be able to accompany me as he is a US citizen?

Thanks.

It is mandatory that you add your child to the application before landing.

You must respond and provide the documents requested. There is no other option available to you.

It is not an option to add or not. All family members, whether accompanying or not, have to be admissible to Canada.

You cannot show up at the border without adding your child to the application. If you do not add your minor child, then that amounts to misrepresentation. You will have to add your child and submit the documents for medicals/ birth certificate and Passport along with the forms. Minors are not subject to criminality and security.

Only after your minor's medicals are passed, your application will be approved, and all individuals in your application will receive a COPR (if accompanying.)
