Can I apply for PR when spouse is pragnent while staying in Canada

[Balaji99]

Hi All,

Hope everyone are doing great. I am currently staying in Canada on closed work permit and my current CRS score is above 450. I have created express entry profile as well. There are high chances that I will receive ITA in the next draw.

Now, I got to know my wife is 6 week pregnant. Can anyone suggest on below questions I have.

1. Can she complete all medical tests ?
2. Does it impact processing time of PR?

Also, if anyone has gone through same situation could you kindly guide me.

Thanks in advance.

1. Most doctors recommend against having the x-ray done while a woman is pregnant. But it's ultimately your choice.
2. She must complete the medical in order for the PR application to be finalized. If she decides to postpone the x-ray until after your child is born, the PR application processing will be put on hold until she can complete the medical.

Thank you Scylla.

The entire application is put on hold. Your PR visa cannot be finalized until your wife completes the medical.

Hi scylla - I have applied in Nov -2018 with X-Ray deferral letter given by panel physician and currently I'm in IP2(but medicals under review). While they wait for x-ray from my wife, do they perform eligibility and back ground checks in parallel or they start after we provide the x-ray? since I'm CEC inland applicant and child is born in Canada do they still request for child birth certificate and passport documents to make decision?

Please advise.

Thanks!
