I applied FSW in 2014 and recently obtained the COPR for me and my wife. And we intend to land Toronto in coming month but my wife is pregnant right now about 4 months, should I need to inform Visa Office before departure or inform them during my entry at Toronto. What will happen for the latter? Will it defer my application?

In the approval letter, it mention that we should inform their office for any change to family composition (marriage, divorce, birth of a child, adoption, etc) before you leave for Canada. However, i am not sure if pregnant is one of the change to family composition in their definition.

Any advice for my situation?

Thanks in advance.

There is no need to inform anyone of the pregnancy.

You are cutting it very close for getting OHIP coverage prior to the birth.

Land in Toronto and get a connecting flight to settle in Calgary. Once arrive there, she can go to the registry and be covered with provincial healthcare immediately without waiting.

Yes ..No Need...But male sure you arrive 90 days before delivery date in Ontario, otherwise you wont be covered by medical insurance. Otherwise land in ALberta or BC & have free delivery over there.

Dear All Senior Members,

First of all sorry for being away from the forum for long time and congratulates to all those got their Visas Issued and best of luck for all those who's applications are in process.

As all of the senior members know that Our PR was issued in 2015 , we went to Canada in 2015 for few months and then came back to UK, as we had to sort out things here in UK.

Our plan was to move permanently to Canada in start of 2017.

By the grace of God we have been blessed with a baby this month in UK, now I have few questions as our baby is born in UK and we don't have visa for the baby and as the baby is born now after 1 year and six months after our PR visas were issued so there is no record for out baby in Canada or in our applications.

Now My question is that how we can get our baby's visa and what visa we can get? Because I am the principal applicant and I am the mother of new born baby and can not travel without baby.

All senior members I need urgent help on this matter as we are planning to move in next few months.

Waiting for urgent and helpful comments.

If baby is British, he can come to Canada without a visit visa (but require ETA after this September). Once in Canada, you can sponsor him for immigration.

From now on, you can also post your message in the Family Class section of this forum.

So if i want to have delivery and medical inspection within 3 months of the expected delivery date, I have to land at BC or Alberta?

I note from the below website that Coverage Wait Period is required. So BC do not provide medical coverage immediately after landing?

http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/health-drug-coverage/msp/bc-residents/eligibility-and-enrolment/how-to-enrol/coverage-wait-period

Coverage During the Wait Period
New residents from other parts of Canada should maintain coverage with their former medical plan during the wait period. New or returning residents arriving from outside Canada should contact a private insurance company for coverage during this period.

No, BC does not grant immediate coverage.

Note that if you intend to land in Alberta solely to get coverage to give birth, you will need to remain living there for at least 6 months to meet the residency requirement.
