1. Immediately contact the visa issuing office, since if you read the instructions that came with the copr about a change in family composition must be reported. Include the application for the child, the ammended copy of your application, copies of the birth certificate and the passport as well as the processing fee.
2. If you land without the child being "examined" then you have a large problem since the child will not be a member of the family class and can only be processed under Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds. You also put your PR status in jeporady.
3. It depends on the province where you settle as to eligbility for medical, most have a 3 month waiting period.

If a PR has a child outside Canada, and if the child gets to Canada then the application is processed under H.& C grounds. The OP was NOT a PR therefore if S/he lands without having the child examined or declared,then s/he obtained landing by misrepresentation. All the information that comes with you application, states that you must inform the CHC if there has been a change in family composition.

Question for PMM.

What do you me by "OP" when you say "

The OP was NOT a PR therefore if S/he lands without having the child examined or declared,then s/he obtained landing by misrepresentation."

Also what do you think about the chances of H&C application in this case if I submitt it after getting my PR Card in ON. Since my baby is only 1 month old & is a US Citizen & was born after I got the PR visa Stamp but before I landed.

Thankyou.

Deep trouble possibly, if you don't follow the rules, you could end up going home.

Question for PMM

Thankyou for your reply.

Do you have any idea how long would it take? Is it like adding one more family member to the application or will I have to apply all over again?? A prompt reply would be appreciated?

Thank you.

Question for PMM (or anyone else with the same situation)
Thankyou for your earlier replies.

How much time will Buffalo take to add my baby over to the application or is there a chance that they might ask me to apply all over again?

I would appreciate your response, Thankyou.
