I am a born Canadian Citizen and pregnant with our first child due in April 2016. My now husband came to Canada December 2, 2015 on a visitor visa. He was given two months, reason they gave him was because they were issuing it as per his return ticket, which was February 2, 2016. We extended 30 days before his visa expired, which was after we married. We were Married December 30, 2015. We stated in the extension that we have the intent to apply for permanent residence once we received our marriage certificate, which we have received since, and that he would like to be here with his family. So now we are just in the process of making sure we check over our documents to make sure we have all required documentation and applications filled out. We are still waiting for his visitor extension to be processed, as I read that the processing times are quite lengthy right now. Our first child is due in April 2016 and included a letter from my family doctor confirming the pregnancy and the due date.
I am currently unemployed as I had chosen to do some travelling last year, once I found out I was pregnant i was diagnosed as high risk and I was told to hold off on finding a job until the baby was born, I have always worked and both my husband and my self have savings to show in our joint account to help support our family until I start to work again and if he receives an OWP. I plan on finding work once the baby is born and I am able to. We are currently residing with my parents so we do not have any rent/mortgage expenses at the moment.
My questions are, when completing any dependants that my husband has, he only has his unborn child. But understanding correctly, the baby is not a dependant until he is born (And he will be born Canadian). In that case he would be born after the Permanent residence application is submitted. Would that make a difference in the application? Or is it best to wait until after the baby is born to submit his PR application? We wanted to submit his PR application as soon as possible, so he could also submit his OWP at the same time.
Next Question, Should i wait until a decision is made on my husbands visitor visa application or is it safe to proceed with the application? Since the first step would be my sponsorship application being approved.
One final question, my husband does have ties to his country. He has property in his country as well as his fathers family business, which he currently does not work for anymore since we decided to stay in Canada. Would mentioning any of this in any of his financials be beneficial in his application to show any additional financial support?
Just a couple questions I had and I am hoping could be answered.
