My situation: I landed on Jul 4 and have not received my PR cards yet, at the address I provided CBSA during landing.

What did I do: Went to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp to call up Canada. It dint work from any phone from the US - Gtalk / Skype / Cell / Regular homephone / Voip like vonage ehmm - no it dint work.

Solution : 1-613-944-4000 - This worked.

Cheers,
Rajesh

Congratulations for the new blessings in the family. I imagine you may need to contact your AINP PNP officer to see if they need to add the new born in your family's nomination list.

If your baby is born in USA please make sure you stay on top of the paper work (I repeat, very very very IMPORTANT) like Proof of birth from Hospital, Birth certificate, SSN and finally the passport. AINP & CIC would need a copy of your baby's passport to be able to do further processing.

Have you got your nomination already?
If you have got your nomination already then you dont have to worry. They will not transfer. Process will continue as it is.
you can either change your address (india) or authorize someone in US itself and give their address. it will help in the end..bcos, CIC will not send passports out of the country.
let me know if you need any other clarifications.

Once you get your nomination, then you dont have to worry about Ainp. At this point you dont hve to do anything. Once baby is born inform CIC. You normally get 60 days to complete the medicals. After they recieved the requred doc they asked for they sent the medical form for my son in 2 weeks. Please le me know if u need any more info.
please see the email below from CIC to add your new kid.

Dear Madam / Sir,
This is in response to your email (see below).
In order to add your child to your application, we require the following documents:
processing fee for your child (if accompanying you to Canada)
your child’s birth certificate
copy of your child’s valid passport
3 recent photographs of your child
updated IMM0008 Generic for yourself and updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself and your spouse.
a “Certificat de Sélection du Québec” for your child ( in his or her name), if you wish to immigrate to the province of Québec (http://www.micc.gouv.qc.ca/fr/index.asp)
Copies of the original documents with original certified translations into English or French are required. All documents must be sent by mail or fax (see fax number and address below).
Your child must undergo a medical examination. We will send you the appropriate form upon receipt of the documents listed above. Be aware that even non-accompanying dependants must undergo medical examinations.
Application forms, fees schedule, payment methods and photo specifications are available on our Web site www.buffalo.gc.ca.
Any changes to your situation will likely affect processing times of your file.
You must also take into account that the amount of money that you need to have to support your family is determined by the size of your family and the cost of living in Canada. Therefore, as your family size has changed, you must increase the amount of settlement funds required to immigrate to Canada. For more information go to: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp
Important: Note that if your child was born in Canada or if one parent is a Canadian citizen, the child is a Canadian citizen. If that is the case, you do not need to add the child to your application, no medical examination or fee is required. You must, however, send us a copy of the child’s birth certificate. You should also contact the Consular section of the Canadian Embassy nearest to you to make sure the child has the appropriate travel document. See these Web pages for information:
http://www.voyage.gc.ca/main/foreign/fordest/foreign_view_client-en.asp
http://www.voyage.gc.ca/main/about/service_standards-en.asp
For future reference, in all correspondence to our office, please refer to the applicant's full name, date of birth and file number.
We will contact you if there is any further information we require.
Regards,
Canadian Consulate General Buffalo

Fax 716 858 9591buffalo-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

here is the response from AiNP,

Dear xxxxxxx,

The AINP part of your application has been finalized.

All current and future correspondence and inquiries regarding your application for Permanent Residence must be made with CIC. File processing must continue with Buffalo. Here is the link to contact information in Buffalo: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/buffalo.asp

You MUST advise Buffalo of your new address. If they send you any correspondence and it is returned as undeliverable, your file will likely be closed. You should also arrange for any mail delivered to your former U.S. address to be forwarded to you.

Also provide Buffalo with the details regarding your new child. AINP does not require copies of the documents.

Regards,

Roberta

you have to wait until you get your AOR and then contact CIC.

if you contact them before that..here is the response...

Please allow at least 30 weeks between our receipt of an application and its return to you or our sending of the acknowledgment of receipt letter.
Please wait until you hear from us with further instructions and do not contact our office or send in any further documentation during that period.

I am also in the same boat. My time line is one month later than yours. My medicals reached Ottawa on Sep 2. I had to wait for a while to get my sons's medical form.
I have informed them the address change. Its up to you to do it. But the PPR is done by email. But still you have to send the passports right? So, you need your friends address in US. You can use them as your rep to send the passports for you. CIC wont send passports outside US. Couple of us are in the same situation. Please keep us in the loop.

Hi Snelectron

Just from the previous timeline of candidates it usually takes 4+ months from the date of submission of application or 3+ months from the date of encashing the checks to get an AOR/Medicals from CIC.
(Source: Please read through the previous posts in this thread from a few months past to get an idea of this ) .

Your check would have been encashed by August 8th or so....Expect your medicals by 3rd week of October.

CIC typically does not communicate with the candidate before this to convey any updates.

Hope this helps


Hello Lightsinthemist..Thanks for the info..yes this surely does help!
