1st congrats for the upcoming good news.
2nd. u will get MR most probably by March. and by then ur wife will be in her 3rd month of labor. u can do her MR with the protective shield of Xray but that is not considered complete MR. hence, she has to go under MR again after delivery. so does your coming soon baby.
3rd. there is no way I can dodge this, as it will be clear from her blood and urine tests that she is pregnant. even though u some how managed to deal with the MR...u cant simply fly....cos after MR it takes around on avg 2 months to get Visa and 1 more month to fly (booking and preparations and all that)...so ur wife will be in her 6th month or will touch 7th month......hence airlines will deny her to fly for medical reasons.
so u can prepare your mind to spend atleast next 12 months in pakistan...yes full 1 year....9 months to have baby......1 month to prepare for his documentations and PP....1 month again to have MR for wife and baby....then 1 month again to get PPR for baby....then 1 month again to get his visa......so this counts 13 months......that on avg, can be less or more.
I m not discouraging you in this way but simply explaining you the maths.
if u don't mind....if u planned to have baby in Canada.....why didn't you though of some family planning? I m serious cos I m also holding on for it for same reason as it useless to not plan and care for family after u apply for immigration cos it can delay ur process for whole next year....a waste of time.
good luck buddy.
Dear Canadamylove,
Are you sure about the statement: "u can do her MR with the protective shield of Xray but that is not considered complete MR".
You mean, if the women is pregnant, the only option is to wait until the child is born?
I had a check at the Panel Members' HANDBOOK 2013 here: Panel Members' HANDBOOK 2013
http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLish/resources/publications/dmp-handbook/index.asp#chap4.6.1
Pregnancy affects only the Chest XRAY:
4.6.1 Pregnant client
If the client
chooses to defer her CXR because of pregnancy:
eMedical-enabled Panel Clinics
CIC is informed electronically by eMedical when a CXR is deferred and the health case is put on hold when a client is pregnant and chooses to defer her CXR;
CXR requisition and instructions are generated by eMedical and provided to the client;
eMedical generates a “Pregnancy deferral letter” with instructions for the client;
All other components of the IME are completed and the IME is put on hold status until the CXR is completed;
The IME will be submitted to CIC along with the CXR results when available.
It also says: There may be cases where a client may not be pregnant at the time of the IME, but is pregnant at the time of the x-ray examination. If a client is pregnant and elects to proceed with the chest x-ray examination, there are no changes to the chest x-ray procedures.
So based on the handbook, if the client CHOOSES not to undergo Xray, then only your medical is considered incomplete.
To whom it may concern:
PLEASE CONTACT A PANEL DOCTOR AND ASK THEM DIRECTLY ABOUT WHETHER THE MEDICAL WILL BE COMPLETED IF XRAY IS DONE EVEN IF ONE IS PREGNANT.
