No they won't care whatsoever about your pregnancy.

Are you landing as a new PR?
They will not care about pregnancy.

They only care if a VISITOR is visibly pregnant (like over 5 months) and they think she may just be visiting Canada just to have baby to get the child Canadian citizenship.

I might be wrong, but looks like she is landing as a PR sponsored by her father as a dependent. Doesn't the pregnancy exclude her from the dependent class?

No - it doesn't.

She would only be excluded if she is now married or common law (has lived with someone for at least one year).

No, it doesn't exclude her as she is still technically single dependent. If the baby was due before landing, then that is a different situation.

OP should clarify, did she get married or become common-law during the time application was processing?
