Got this email from LVO today MASHA ALLAH
and to my surprise the VO sent it to both sponsor and applicant. I am going to Pakistan next month for my baby's delivery and will try to do the paperwork completed when I am there. The questions I have now are:
1. What is the procedure of adding a dependent.
2. They mentioned only passport, pictures, birth certificate, "b-form" (mandatory for passport) are required, do you think I have to prepare something else too..? What about medical for baby.?
3. And can I take it as a positive response as everything else was passed on my case although they didn't mentioned .? my ECAS is still in process.
This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to
continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:
We note that you are currently pregnant with an expected date of delivery in late September
2015. We are concerned that a final decision on your application now may cause problems for
you in September.
We intend to proceed with a final decision on your application after the birth of your child. In this
way, your child will be added to the application, and issued a document to become a permanent
resident of Canada as well.
For this, we will need you to inform both this office and CPC-Mississauga of the birth of your
child as soon as possible. Your sponsor will need to prepare application information to add a
dependent to your application. The application to add a child to your application must be sent to
CPC-Mississauga. I suggest that you obtain your child's birth certificate, travel document, and
photos (to meet requirements for the application) as soon as possible after your child's birth.
Once all requirements are met and your child is added to the application, we would make the
final decision on your application. A positive decision will result in permanent resident visas
being issued to both the principal applicant and dependent child.
Instructions and information on adding your child to your application may be found on the public
website. I suggest starting with links found on this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/eservices/index.asp
If you have questions or concerns about this proposed plan of action, please let us know as
soon as possible.
