As you already got the passport request you should inform the visa about the situation and mention that you would add the new born after birth.

In order to add a child to FSW applicant's application, you need:

1. Notarized copy of my baby's birth certificate.
2. copy of baby's passport.
3. 4 photographs.
4. Updated Form IMM5406 (Additional Family Information) for me and my wife including my baby's info.
5. Updated Page 2 of Form IMM0008 (Application for Permanent Residence in Canada) for me including my baby's info.
6. Form IMM5620 (Fee Payment Form - Application for Permanent Residence Federal Skilled Worker Class) including processing fee of Canadian $150 for child.

If my baby was born in Canada, do I have to do step 2 to step 6?
Thanks

If born in Canada the child will automatically be a Canadian citizen by birth. The provincial rules to be followed for registering the birth, health insurance etc...

I am in a similar situation, except even worse.

Five weeks ago I received a telephone call and an email from the VO asking to send passports for visa/CoPR. I explained my situation to immigration officer that my wife is 6.5 months pregnant and if I am to travel within a month then i should get our passports stamped ASAP. She said that I should send the passports as the VO can process our passports within 2 to 3 weeks. So the next day i had sent the passports but now it is five weeks since that. Today the gynecologist advised my wife against travelling as she has complications.

I am now thinking to email the VO asap explaining that we have an upcoming change of family composition and that they should NOT issue visa/CoPR at this stage. I know that our passports are still with them as i have DHL prepaid receipt/tracking no. If the VO has not yet stamped our visas/CoPR then is it possible that they will hold off from issuing visa/CoPR?

The due date of birth is end of December. Once our baby is born i will send them updated Application Forms, notarized copies of child's passport & birth certificate and photos, this may take one month atleast after birth. So if i send all the above things by end of January and our medical expire on May 8, 2013 then is it possible that they issue us passport request (PPR) before May 8th. How long does it take to add a child to a FSW PR application? Is the baby's medical also required?

Seniors please advise.

Kind regards,

Dear byran98, please can you tell me how long it takes for the visa office to add the new-born baby to the PR application? when you sent the baby's passports etc then how long after that did you ask for baby's medical?
