Hi,
I got my PR for Canada, but here's the problem. When I applied for PR for me and my family, it was me, my wife and my 2 yr old daughter. However, by the time the processing got done and I got my PR, I was blessed with a baby boy. If I need to get a PR for my lil one as well, it is going to take some more time and money which I don't have (especially the money part).
This is what I am thinking of doing, but wanted to know if this is doable. I intend to travel alone to Canada and save my PR (I am the primary applicant) and let my wife's and daughter's PR expire. Post finding a job, I intend to apply the PR for everyone including my son this time or get them as dependents . Is this doable or will the embassy say that I should have disclosed about my son's information.
My understanding, because I am allowing the previous PRs of my wife and daughter to expire, and when I apply again, it will be a fresh application, it should not be an issue. Correct me if my understanding is wrong because I don't want to spoil my chances.
Thanks for all the help. Based on the response, I will be deciding if I should move to Canada or not.
Regards!

not to scare you but I think you have to inform of any changes in your immediate family to CIC ( if you have taken PR and not yet landed --- addition of your son in this case ) .
either please talk to some immigration consultant or research at http://www.cic.gc.ca" rel="nofollow">LINK .
rules keep changing that is why I am saying to reasearch at http://www.cic.gc.ca" rel="nofollow">LINK .
All the best .
sant is right. The letter which comes alongwith your stamped PR visa clearly states that your visa is valid only if all family members have been declared and examined. You have to inform Canadian Consulate immediately in case of major event like birth, death, change in marital situation, adoption, change in medical situation, any criminal charge or conviction etc. because that affects your eligibility to get PR in first place. If information is not disclosed and you try to land with only your wife and daughter shown as dependants, then that would go in your record as the only dependants and you'll never be able to sponsor your son for Canadian PR and your PR can also be revoked on the grounds that you failed to disclose important information.
Please re-read the letter which you recieved from Canadian Consulate alongwith your PR visa.
I don't believe there is any option other than to disclose the birth of your son to Canadian Consulate.
