I have been reading on several forums, but the answers are quite different.

what happens if your visa is stamped and your child is born in the home country and you have not landed?

do they cancel your visas and you have to start from scratch or do they cancel your visa and you just have to add baby and they will re-issue visas.?


what happens if you land but you did NOT inform them that your child is born BEFORE the visa issued. can you sponsor your child? or do they just cancel your visas and your PR.


Let me know as there is a lot of missinformation on the forums out there.

thanks

1. Your visa is invalid and has to be returned. The child has to be added to the application, your application amended, fee paid, passport and medical.
2. If you don't report the child and the child is not examined, and you "land", the child is no longer a member of the family class and cannot be sponsored. You could also be reported for misrepresentation and receive a removal order.

Lets take a situation, where the principal applicant lands in Can and take the PR then comes back to his home country, then his spouse and kid joins after say a year if a Birth cirtificate could be manged which is dated after he had landed for the first time in Can.

Hope you get what i want to say.

First things first: The "official and legal" way of handling this should have been an update to the visa office NINE (or more) months ago when you first got pregnant. If you went through a consultant, they should have made that very clear to you.
 
Now, forgetting your past mistake, going forward, you have only one "official and legal" option:  submit an update to your office, in which case they will cancel your visas, add the child to the application and will go through the process of adding the child (fees, medical if needed, proof of identity etc.). Whether or not you and everyone else in your application would have to undergo the process all over again, I am not sure. My personal opinion (from a friend who had to go through the same situation) is that not likely. They will only process your new child as additional information.

 

Legally, if you were to land and not claim the child as a dependant, you lose your right for future sponsorship and also risk your PR status being revoked on basis of "mis-representation". Bear in mind that "mis-representation" is a crime under the Immigration Regulations. Whether or not you ever get caught, is an altogether different debate (that I will pass on).

 

Any other advice of what to do would be regarded as the "illegal" way to handle the situation.
