You will have to inform VO when your child is born and send necessary papers/forms/documents/Pp info and the necessary fees.

Mitali
 
First of all congratulation !!!


Take care of her. When you will have baby then you need to fill up another form which describes your family status. It is not tedious matter.

Congratulations, at first, for the upcoming baby. May Almighty give you an angel.

Though it is very advance (as you have not submitted the application yet), here's the information for you .

How to add a newborn baby into an already submitted case file?

After we have applied for the Canadian PR process there would be occassions when an applicant has been blessed with a newborn baby. Now, if this baby isn't 'added' into our case file & we proceed to 'land' [given that we already have the meds/PPR/PRVs already, it'd be a serious 'misrepresentation of facts' & we could face twin problems... [1]we may not be able to sponsor the baby after entering Canada, [2]we might be deported & face a 2-yrs. ban.

Similalrly, if we r yet to receive our meds, and have a baby meanwhile, the situation might not be that complex, however it makes sense that we 'add' the newborn into our case file asap, else there could be inordinate delays if we don't or delay this action.

Remember, as with all family members [whether accompanying or otherwise] we need to get the baby's meds done; only then s/he could move with u... AND all the PRVs [PR Visas] of the entire family must be linked to each other... that's what the IRPA regulation specifies.

Nothwithstanding the foregoing, here's the procedure to 'add' the newborn into our PR case file:
Advise the VO of a change to your family composition, send them a signed letter (the letter may be scanned and sent as an email attachment) providing them with all required changes to your file. The following information must be included in the letter:
- full name,
- date of birth,
- file number [Letter followed by a nine-digit number],
- telephone number, including area code,
- fax number, including area code, and
- mailing address

How to add your child to your application:

Important: Note that if your child was born in Canada or if one parent is a Canadian citizen, then the child is a Canadian citizen. If that is the case, you do not need to add the child to your application, and 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 High Commission of Canada to make sure the child has the appropriate travel document.

You will be required to submit the following documents in order to add your child to your application:

- a letter explaining how your family composition has changed and requesting that your child be added to your application
- processing fee for the child (if accompanying you to Canada)
- updated IMM0008 Generic Application Form and updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself and your spouse to include added child
- If the child is 18 years or older, an IMM0008, Schedule A and IMM5406 Additional Family Information Form
- notarized copy of the child's birth certificate
- copy of your child's valid passport(s) both valid and expired
- four recent passport-size photographs of your child according to the specifications

- if you applied as a Skilled Worker - updated proof of funds for number of family members to now include added child
- a “Certificat de Sélection du Québec” for your child ( in his or her name), if you are immigrating 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.


Keep this information to you and implement later. :) :)

Hi deba,
A small question on behalf of a friend....if right after a week of meds. an applicant come accross the news of her pregnancy, should she wait for her visa or should immediately inform VO?
In this case, the lady most likely is gonna get her visa well before the delivery of the child.
Thanks

It is wise to let the IO know about the upcoming child, of course. After medical, usually it takes 3-5 months to have PPR. If the parents think, it is possible the baby comes of after landing, no need to update. If baby comes of after visa received, the applicants with all dependents' passport must be refunded to visa office and after completing all formalities, the visa office will issue all visa at a time once again.
