On March 30, 2022, the Government of Canada published updated instructions on how to add dependents to an existing Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) permanent residence (PR) application.
After applying for a PR under the AIP, if a principal applicant (PA) made a change in his/her family composition (got married, became a common-law partner, or had or adopted a child), he or she has to update the AIP PR application accordingly.
The applicant must send his/her add-on request through IRCC’s webform and attach the required supporting documents.
