Landing gist
After 2 days the kids fell ill,cough,catarrh,fever and vomiting,it has been really tough for us,thank God for the few medications i brought from naija
Had similar experience shortly after landing and i'm guessing stress from the travel was the cause. Suspected malaria but still visited the hospital and the doctors acted like my child had ebola angry immediately they realized we just arrived from a country where malaria still exist. Before they quarantine us we carried ourselves back home to continue our naija-made malaria dosage. From the smallest baby to the oldest, we all fell ill one after the other in -30c winter chai. For newcomers who won't have immediate access to medical please come prepared.

Sister it is well with your kids.

Please HELP
The thread has been closed. We are pre PPR. Please what email address was your notification sent to and how did you get the form, please.
Sister that thread is not closed check again. Did you use the link i gave? In my case i sent email to my vo in ottawa CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca and added URGENT on the subject line to get their attention and quick resoonse. I got a response in 2 days or so. See full gist here. Where is your visa office? Better to move this conversation to the sister thread where you'll get more responses/help from people in same situation.

Sorry for late reply, busy week.

Hello All, please I want to know how long the immigration office responded with a form to fill for the birth of your child? I mean notification that there's an addition to the number of family? We no notified them first week of this month. No response from them yet? Should we be worried?
Your question sounds kinda vague, are you pre PPR or post, or landed? If former then your question will be better answered on sister thread, many people have shared their addition story there including myself. Don't know what to say cuz don't know what stage of the process you are in, regardless 2 weeks is too long not to have gotten a response. I got a response less than 48 hours, it was urgent. What medium did you use to communicate your addition? I used email (good) and web form (no result), from my experience.

A simple search by using the search box here can greatly assist them, especially when someone is already telling them to back read or check out page 0 to find what they seek.

Typical sequence of behaviour on nairaland FSW thread (wish I could add memes)
Page zero is so rich you hardly need to ask anything else except your peculiar case not yet captured there. Wonder why it is so hard for some to dedicate 10 mins to digest it huh but ready to spend millions on a journey they don't fully understand. Kinda people in exam who don't read instruction before answering questions only to find out after exam that Q1 was compulsory but they jump n passed it because of the many children way e carry. smh

BTW GlitteringStar is definitely a STAR for keeping page zero up to date. Not small work o

Thank you so much.

Did you have to use their recommended paediatrician or were you given the liberty to choose yours?
Was given the liberty to use any but i eventually used the recommended. Let's just say my initial choice was less professional and wanted to pour sand in my garri.

Has anyone had their child referred to a Paediatrician after Medicals?
Happened to me and nearly caused a delay on my application cuz we didn't know what to do/expect. My child was a little short on a developmental milestone but the paediatrician advised us on what to do to catch up, it wasn't a major concern for medical inadmissibility. We passed medical the following day paediatrician's report was submitted.

In your case you can vid record him when he is talking at home or among friends and show it to the doctor. Doctors are familiar with situations like this. Fear not!

You just spoke my mind. They are understaffed and d lady seems to be doing work meant for at least 2 personnels. She even made a mistake while processing me for d medical examinations but I couldn't really fault her cos I understand she was under a lot of pressure and she actually apologised for it
I think there are two different secretaries here. The lady that accepts your payment and docs deserves employee of the year for managing all 'manner of people' in a confined space. I had to sit behind her to appreciate her work. But the other secretary is just bleep bleep bleep...

Their problem is more of an organizational one than an individual.

Hello Everyone,
How soon should one expect a new PPR after adding a new born. I would appreciate response. Thank you so much
See your answer below...

You will get new ppr mail, usually within 1-4 weeks after medical passed. Have you passed medical with your new born?

Hello Niobe77 thanks for previous help, baby is born we have added her to the application she has be given a UCI number after we attached some documents but I was expecting a place holder for Medical’s and POF which has not been given can you advice how yours went. At what point did you attach medical, passport photo and updated POF
I attached the medical report along with other documents and uploaded in adr placeholder. Medical passed the next day. I don't think I'll be asked for pof again because i already provided enough funds to cover new born (and extra sef) with my initial pof. I'm sure photo will be asked in ppr.

In your case, cic will generate a new placeholder and send a medical form that hospital will fill and upload for your new born medical, that is according to canadavisa forum sha. You should get an update from cic in coming week.

@Noble i understand you have walked this path i am walking now my wife is due in 2weeks and we just got PPR today please advice if we should go ahead and send our passports and wait to raise CSE after baby is born please advice.
wholesomegrace:
Raise a CSE informing them that you are expecting your baby on a specified date and also send a mail to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
You will receive a response within 3 days and you will be given a month after your baby arrives to include newborn details. Your cic account will also be updated and a place holder generated for all documents required for newborn.

Please note oo, if you don't get a response, just go submit your passport, then after the birth of your baby, proceed to do the needful
@Fameli i concur with wholesomegrace. Don't waste money and time sending passports now only to resend same passports again and pay a replacement fee of $30 each to cancel the original visas for reissue (except your pof is tight and you want to see what copr looks like before it is cancelled grin).

for a family of 3 also my wife is due to give birth by June 11

airlines will not carry her with a pregnancy that is close to delivery. So do you advice I sent the passport now or write them first without sending passport.
Congratulations sir on your PPR.

In my case i sent email to my vo in ottawa CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca immediately i got ppr and added URGENT on the subject line for quick response. I got a response in 2 days or so. They will probably respond with a message like this. Not sure if LVO use a different email address or just use the ottawa.

Please I need information. Are we to submit the our passport for ppr at The VFS global office in lekki?
Can we mail it in? Or do we have to be present ? What is the process like and what is the cost?

Pls answers
Recent pprs can pls give more details on the process for submission and crowd situation at the venue. Wondering if anyone has picked their passport from vfs, knowing that process will be helpful too. Thanks in advance

Working on getting passports for my angels.
Congratulations my dear on your double tripple joy.

How long do you think it will take to get the passports? I called my contact and already telling me it takes weeks now to process pp, first have to wait 2 weeks after birth before processing cuz some babies don't open eyes during photo shoot which is headache for them. Just wanna make pp are ready before the 30 day extension.

Congrats GirlieNtosh on PPR.

I think we are in similar situation, I'll be giving birth in 3 wks but asked to submit pp in 15days. I have raised cse and sent mail to Ottawa, just seeing that one can send mail to Ghana too sad
Finally got a reply from Ottawa saying "Please be advised that your COPRs have been cancelled and your file has been re-opened for further processing. Please provide the required documents within 30 days after the birth of the child."

Required documents
1. Receipt of fee for child
2. Completed forms IMM0008 & IMM5406
3. Child's bc and bio data page
4. Copy of eMedical

A new row was added on mycic to upload ALL docs in 4mb huh before deadline. Then 2nd ppr should come. Hopefully someone in similar situation will find this useful.

Thank you to all the small and big contributors of this thread from part 1, you make these ppr announcements happen and i hope you share in the joy and excitement with the recipients. The accolades are yours cool

I have also sent a mail to ottawa and Accra and also raised a Cse. Hoping to get a response during the week. I will also call tomorrow.

It used to be 30 days before o. 30 days would have been just fine for me
What email did you use in sending to Accra??

I need to forward to them. I need about 70 days extension with all this passport wahala but hopefully submit before then. Be nice to let us know the outcome of tomorrow's call

Hello everyone

We have 15 days to submit to Accra but hubby has a training on the 11th of May in France. Please advice should we raise cse for an extension or risk it and submit

Thank you all
Congrats GirlieNtosh on PPR.

I think we are in similar situation, I'll be giving birth in 3 wks but asked to submit pp in 15days. I'll need my pp for sighting when applying for new born. I have raised cse and sent mail to Ottawa, just seeing that one can send mail to Ghana too sad I called Ottawa in hope of getting instant response on how to proceed but line cut off at 49th min of holding on, will call back in 5days if I don't get any reply.

Calling cic is a good start but still send cse as advised by others.

From your plan, you will need an extension of at least 1.5 months. True
What of your initial Medicals? do you still have time there? or will you need an extension there as well? I have till next year Feb

Personally, I just feel like its less complicated to add the baby after COPR. hmmm it depends
But let's hear from other more experienced NLanders
