Hi All,
I and my wife received the COPR in Feb 2020 which is valid until 12 Jan 2021. We are currently residing in US. Our child was born in US in March 2020. We notified IRCC in September by submitting the Birth Certificate using the webform and they sent an acknowledgment of the receipt of Birth Certificate along with the reply below:
"Furthermore, if you are the principal applicant of a permanent residence application already in process, you could add your spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children to your application, even if they were listed as a non-accompanying dependant in the initial application.
To do so, we invite you to send your add-on request through the IRCC webform available on our website. You can attach the following forms and documents in the field reserved to that effect:
I am planning to pick the PR around the first week of December.
I would appreciate it if someone with a similar experience could reply.
