Pregnancy after AOR

[KST06]

Hello Everyone

I submitted my E APR on 16 April 2017 and got the AOR the same day.

Now we are planning to have a baby as it ll be easier for me to take care of my wife in my home country.
However i am not sure what would happen to my application. Do we have to declare the pregnancy status to the CIC (but in most cases CIC talks about a new born)
WHat options do we have??

Or is it better to plan after PPR or even after that i.e after landing in canada but it ll consume so much time

Please guide!!

you don't have inform CIC about your planning. You should inform only after the baby is born ( if that happens before you complete your landing formalities)

Thanks for the reply!! So basically a pregnant women can land in Canada without any need to inform CIC (or any additional formalities)but consider-

1) If pregnant lady could not travel after PPR owing to her health status and delivers the baby in home country, whereas the husband (who is the principal applicant) lands in Canada. Then how the case will proceed?? Especially when the medical of the lady also expires in due course of time

2) If the pregnant lady lands in Canada will she be able to avail all the medical benefits (as i have heard it takes 3 months, which then may co inside with the delivery date

So then, she may have to land in Canada--- activate the PR -----and come back to home country for the delivery ( if health permits)

Please advice!!

Then you have to seek permission from CIC post receiving your PPR explaining your situation that you cannot travel. CIC will update you on the next steps. If the baby is born before your COPR expires, you again need to inform CIC, they will ask further documents pertaining to baby and few revised docs such as POF.
2) If the pregnant lady lands in Canada will she be able to avail all the medical benefits
That depends on the province. For example Ontario doesn't provide free medical services to immigrants for first 3 months. You need to get a private insurance to cover your costs.
Please advice!!

So after birth additional documents would be passport, birth certificate, medical of new born and my wife's Medical (considering it expired) plus additional funds.

What will be total waiting time for my wife to be in Canada with her baby as the primary applicant i.e myself will be there waiting desperately.

But i can figure out that the best option would be to ---land in Canada while the wife is pregnant---------get some private health insurance to provide cover for 3 months duration ( hope that wont be much expensive)----------Delivery in Canada--- So that i wont have to wait and go through the hassle of additional documents

sometimes they give extension for medicals.
Depends on CIC

if you notify about change in family composition while in India. You cannot land till they process additional documents.

if the child is born in Canada. So/he will be the citizen by birth so no documentation issues. Also, Canada has good medical facility. You need to manage the finances through insurance or from your pocket. Don't know much about the insurance costs. You can check for website that might cover your family for pregnancy.

hello Vishal

I really appreciate your response


One quick query to help me get complete understanding of the topic!!

As you said "You cannot land in Canada once you notify about change in family composition"

But I ( Primary Applicant) will be landing in Canada (without my wife) as soon as we receive our COPR !!

And once i had landed, my wife would request CIC to give extension on "her COPR" explaining her inability to travel owing to pregnancy.....Then after the delivery she will notify CIC about the change in family composition and will submit all the required documents of newborn, POF, her Medical ( if required)-------Process expected to take 1-2 months-----Then both mother & child can land in Canada where I ll be waiting

That's not how it works. Once you land, you can't modify your app, so you would not be able to add a child. Your wife can't request an extension on her COPR because of pregnancy; that is her life choice and IRCC won't care. Either she lands by expiry or she doesn't. If she doesn't land and has a child in your home country, you will need to sponsor both of them for PR. This can take up to a year, during which time you will be required to reside in Canada; a few short visits are OK but that's it. It is very possible that they will not be able to come to Canada during the sponsorship process, so you need to be prepared to be apart from them for the entire process.

THANKS A LOTT.. This is a very valuable info for me and at a very right time ....

I guess i have to defer my family plan for 6 more months ??? ??? till we get our COPR & both of us land in Canada together..............else its too much STRESS (((( 1) either of taking a flight during pregnancy & then 3 months wait for the activation of medical facilities in Ontario AND also 2) If choosing to stay in home country till delivery then stress to land in Canada before the Expiry of COPR/ Medical & then in that same period getting the documents of newborn ready )))) after all the hard work done

Thanks again!!

These 6 months gonna teach me the real meaning of patience

Exactly the same case, details of my case are as given below

• CRS -457
• ITA - Jan 2017
• AOR - April 2017

We are desperately planning for a baby as we are married since 5 years and baby planning was kept on hold from last one year due to PR process and medical test

After going through many posts on forum, I understand that many people are preferring to have a baby in Canada , so that baby will get Canadian citizenship. However my opinion and perception is different . In my point of view , having a baby in India is more convenient and comfortable for me since our parents will be here to take care and guide

Considering my current status ( i.e AOR - 14th April 2017), having a baby in India and requesting CIC for landing date extension and including baby in same PR application; is the best option , that's what I feel

I may be wrong or right ,could anyone share their experience or reply on above specific doubt?


Looking forward to receive suggestions and guidance on the above dilemma

As already stated, IRCC does not extend the validity of the COPRs/visas because of pregnancy. If your landing documents are going to expire before the birth, you must either land or give it up and start the whole process from scratch.

Thanks for your reply.
But what if someone is unable to travel to Canada due to health status during pregnancy (being 6 to 9 months pregnant; for example) and COPR is getting expired? In this case, can we ask for an extension?

No. It would be your life choice to get pregnant during this process, so that is something you would need to work around.
