!!!!HELP URGENT!!!
Hi - I have a question related to new born. I see lot of posts on new born but it is very overwhelming and I am looking for precise answer as we have limited time remaining to submit the documentation.
- I received the ITA (FSW) on Oct 4, 2017
- Documentation (e-APR) deadline: Jan 3, 2018
- My wife delivered a baby in Nov 2017 (which is after I received the ITA)
- Baby's birth certificate is ready - I have to go to the town's health department Monday next week (12/18) to pick it up
- I have a medical scheduled for my new born for Dec 19, 2017
- I tried adding the new born using the following pointer and selecting in the dropdown "Replacing Documents, Amendment to Documents" -this was done on Dec 7, 2017

I received a response from CIC today and I think they are trying to say that I should use the correct link/pointer for CSE for adding a new born but to me it is not making sense what shall I use.
Here is the response I received from CIC today (in redand italics):
Now my questions are :
- How do I add the new born to the profile? What specific form to use for CSE?
- Do I really need to add the new born before my documentation submission due date of Jan 3, 2018 or there is a work around?
- I am sure I won't be getting the passport no sooner than mid-Jan, do I still need to add my new born in the application now and get his medical done on Dec 19, 2017 OR add my new born now to the application and get the newborn's medical check-up done later after Jan 3, 2018 OR submit everything now for me and my wife and everything related to my new born can be done later (after Jan 3, 2018)?
