Very hard to say. The fact that you mentioned that your wife’s pregnancy was a reason hurts your application especially if you said your father will be helping because your wife is pregnancy and when the baby comes. On a positive note travel to Australia is a good thing.

It’s still the fact that you mentioned that he was coming for the birth of your second child which may create problems. You will have to see.

It is actually positive if she has not stayed in Canada too long unless she returned to Canada rather quickly.

It is not about overstaying necessarily it is about making sure they have strong ties to their home country.

Then you should be considering Supervisa. Wait and see what happens first.

My take on this is it's best to be honest and forthcoming with information like your wife's pregnancy, rather than hide and have them discover this easily-available information in another way. In my experience, the visitor visa category can be very arbitrary, and the reasons why they may accept or reject can be difficult to divine.

Props to you for your honesty, good luck with the application!
