Hi,
I am in a similar situation where in my wife's PR file is in process at NVDO and we are expecting a baby soon. Could you please share the process to add child to the file? What forms/document we need to submit?
Thanks,
Depesh
Hi, are you a citizen or PR,
1) in case you are citizen there is no need to inform CIC/NDVO till your baby is born. After baby's birth just goto nearest Canadian Consulate in India and apply Canadian citizenship certificate and passport. You will get passport in 15 days.
then send copies of baby's passport and your citizenship certificate copies to NDVO/CIC
2) If you are PR, update CIC/NDVO about pregnancy and after baby's birth you need to send CIC/NDVO the following :-

Sir, Madam,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request:
Add-on - Application to sponsor a member of the family class - Spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child
A family member* of the principal applicant could be added at a later date, even if they were listed as a non-accompanying dependant in the initial application. However, there is no guarantee that your request to add a family member to an application will be accepted if the final decision has already been made by the office processing the application.
To add a family member to the application, you have to download, fill out, validate and print the following forms** from our website and send them to the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Mississauga, Ontario:
A new Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking form (IMM 1344) completed by the sponsor,
(If the application is still at the CPC in Mississauga) A new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) with supporting documents,
(If you are adding a dependent child of a dependent child) A Financial Evaluation form (IMM 1283) with supporting documents,
and
The add-on request including:
your name,
your client ID number/UCI,
your file number,
a letter of explanation,
a copy of the birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship, and
if applicable, the proof of payment.
You must write ADD-ON on the forms and the envelope. If you want proof that your application was received, we suggest you use registered mail with Canada Post or a courier service such as Purolator, UPS, FedEx, etc.
*A family member is a spouse, common-law partner, dependent child or dependent child of a dependent child.
**If the newly created family member is a child born in Canada, only the add-on request is required.

I got this email from CIC when I asked them how to update my new born baby information. I am citizen so i didn't follow this. I just sent them additional family information along with my baby's Canadian passport copy. ( My baby born in India
)
