Dear alta.province,alta.province said:Dear friends,
my wife is pregnant and should give birth in our home country in August. Should I notify the visa office now or not?
We got PER from CIC in August 2013 and since then, no news from Vienna VO.
If we get MR now, how does it work for a pregnant women and all those upcoming delays with paperwork?
Do little babies have to go to medical as well?
I think your panel physician will determinate your wife pregnancy and according to this will conduct only subset of tests.
For example, your wife will not have to do chest X-ray.
I skimmed through this medical manual and you might want to see it as well:

It seems that children also needs to do few tests but I didn't find what about babies (I believe they are not required).
Also panel physician will write all this information on resulting documents.
However I can't say surely should you or not inform Vienna. Maybe it's not bad idea just to make sure?
What do you guys think about this matter?
But I am pretty much sure if your baby gets born before you land in Canada, you will definitely need to get birth certificate and other appropriate documents of newborn and send them to Vienna.
This will result in reevaluation of your application --> you will need new proof of funds (as you will have new dependent) and it will probably introduce some delays in your process. Be prepared on that.
Cheers!
