Do not want to add my child in my application but got request letter to add, how to respond

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 my children as my dependent prior landing?

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.

This is a forum thread for International students applying for study permit. Are you applying for study permit? Sounds like you are applying for PR? If so, you should probably post in the forum for people applying for PR: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/forums/express-entry-expression-of-interest.54/ or https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/forums/skilled-worker-professional-immigration.4/.

You must add your child before you land as a PR on you won’t be able to sponsor them in the future.
