Thank you Fandv. What do you suggest we do? just keep on waiting since even after the approval of my husband's PR I can not add my kids in my on going application. Isn't there any loophole?
Just curious: are you the wife of a fellow member of this forum:
amjad1002? Because he is also from Pakistan, and has a Canadian-Pakistani wife, who is currently in South Korea, and they applied last year through Manila too. Your stories are very similar, so I was just wondering if perhaps you're his wife ;D
To answer your question, hmmmm I am not sure if there's any loophole.....I gotta admit that this PR process is a little unpredictable, which makes it hard for people to plan their lives.
According to Rob_TO above:
If you had a baby overseas and you can't pass on citizenship, and your husband was still waiting for PR, then all you would need to do is add the baby into his PR application as a dependent to sponsor. Baby would just have a very simple medical done and their info put into a couple forms... and that's it. Baby and husband would then get PR at the same time and you would then all travel to Canada together.
Or if you were pregnant and during that time he got PR approved, you could always move to Canada and as long as baby is born in Canada it will be a citizen. Of course in this case you just need to ensure you'll have provincial health coverage for the delivery.
So I guess you can:
A. Try to conceive now, and hope that when the baby's born, your husband's application isn't done yet, which means you can add the baby into his PR application as a dependant to sponsor. But I believe it has a risk, right...? If I understand correctly, if your husband got his PR, AND THEN your baby's born in Korea *before* you guys move to Canada, then it's going to be a big problem, right?
B. Try to conceive now, hoping that your husband will get his PR soon, and then you guys can go to Canada, and then you give birth there, which means your baby will automatically become Canadian (and hopefully your birth process is covered by the Canadian gov health care, or at least a private insurance plan)
C. Conceive just when you guys have moved permanently to Canada (the safest option in terms of immigration, citizenship, paperwork. But the downside is, it's hard to predict when your husband will get his PR) (Keep in mind that immigration matters aside, pregnancy at age 35 and above is considered to be riskier...more on that here ===> http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/getting-pregnant/in-depth/pregnancy/art-20045756)
Also, you also said
"just keep on waiting since even after the approval of my husband's PR I can not add my kids in my on going application" and it seems that that sentence has an implied meaning that there's a possibility that you guys won't move to Canada right away even after your husband got his PR? Any reason why? (if you're amjad1002's wife, then I think the reason is because you have to finish your teaching contract in Korea...?)
