Hi Everyone
1. Application received: March 2018
2. Got AOR1, SA
3. Medical done submitted and received
4. Case transfered to LVO
5. ECAS status: background check in process (been 2 months)
6. Waiting for decision made and PPR
Current situation: My wife is 2 months pregnant, due in Feb 2019 and medical done before pregnancy
Best Scenario # 1: If she get the visa by Nov, might manage to land and get the OHIP by the time of the delivery
Worst Scenario # 2: If the visa will be delayed, then she will have to deliver the new baby in our home country.
Scenario # 3: if she get the visa right before due date which is Feb 2019 and land in canada
What are the consequences if I do;
1. inform LVO prior to PPR about my wife's pregnancy,
2. or wait till she receives her PPR then inform them?
3. Or wait until she delivers then Inform them?
4. Or if she get the visa right before due date which is Feb 2019 and land in canada, will there be any problem at canadian immigration border agency ?
I don't want delay our process at this stage, at the same time I would like to know what are my options
Any help or feedback on this subject is highly appreciated
Regards
Muhammad

Hi There is no concrete solid proof that your wife's pregnancy will speed up the processing HOWEVER there is a case in the KVO thread whose Sponsor was pregnant and their application did go by rather quickly however there is a chance that that is a coincidence .. there are other cases like this one all over the thread where various apps have gotten through quickly with a. pregnant party however this is not 100% sure ..
IT IS HOWEVER IMPORTANT THAT YOU NOTIFY CIC OF ANY CHANGES INCLUSIVE OF PREGNANCIES .. THERE IS A SPACE ON THE APPLICATION THAT ASKS IF YOU ARE PREGNANT... JUST SHOOT THEM AN EMAIL AND SUBMIT A LETTER THROUGH WEB FORM AND LET THEM KNOW SHE IS PREGANTN AND HER DUE DATE ( A DOCTORS NOTE WILL HELP AS WELL OR AN ULTRASOUNFD PIC SHOWING YOUR WIFE NAME)...
ALSO NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE NOT A CANADIAN CITIZEN AND YOUR CHILD IS BORN OUTSIDE OF CANADA AND NOT INCLUDED ON THE APPLICATION, YOU WILL HAVE TO APPLY TO SPONSOR THAT CHILD .. IF YOU ARE A CITIZEN THEN ITS NO WORRIES HE OR SHE WILL BE GRANTED AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP ..
CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BABY!!!
