Baby's medicals

[Traveler74]

Hello everyone!
My wife and I have received our medicals paperwork before we had our baby. We postpone the medical until after the baby was born. The baby is born now and we already sent his documentation to CIC so they can issue the baby’s medical paperwork. My question is the following:

Does anyone know how long does it usually take for them to send the medical paperwork for the baby?

CIC received the baby’s paperwork on October 17th.

Thank you.

Are there anyone with similar situation or with some input?

My time line regarding to the addition our baby is:

I sent my baby papers (passport copy, birth certificate copy and fee) on July 28th to Buffalo office. Till that my initial assesment was not done. I received medicals for our family on September 19th 2008.

I am not sure how long it would take as it depends on where you lodge your application.
In my case, we received our documents for the medicals when my wife was two months to having our baby. We proceeded with the examination and reported that she was pregnant. Three weeks after submission of our medical reports, we received notification to submit our passports for the visa. The visas were issued in two weeks.

I guess it MAY take longer since your baby is already born. I think it could take somewhere between 3-12 months. In any case, I would urge you to be patient since I am sure it would come through for you.

Yes applicant and each accomanying family member has to be mediclly checked before landing in Canada. expecting Parents have to get the new babies mediclly checked. The objective being

cause a danger to public health or safety in Canada; or
would cause excessive demand on health or social services in Canada.
