Yes, you can apply for a visitor visa after the baby is born. Explain the situation in a Letter of Explanation (LoE). For example, explain how the delivery couldnt be in Canada due to complications. Also mention that you will be applying for a sponsorship as soon as you are in Canada and that you need the visitor visa to be able to travel together as a family. And that you will respect all the conditions of the visitor visa. Include insurance for at least 3 months. If you have a good travel history, also mention that. From my experience, this gives you the best chance for a visitor visa.

But please keep in mind that the visitor visa could be denied. Many cases on this forum also have reported rejection of visitor visa requests. I also had the first visitor visa for my daughter rejected.

If the visitor visa is rejected, you could apply for a TRP. Otherwise, or if the TRP is also rejected, you will have to travel to Canada and then apply for the sponsorship. It is expected that you are in Canada throughout the application process. Short trips outside Canada should be OK.



It helps if you have a job. But if you can show funds in Canada, that should be sufficient. Dependent visas doesnt have a minimum requirement. Again, use a letter of explanation and mention that you are looking for jobs and that you have sufficient funds to support your family. Include as much proof as possible (Bank statements, Tax returns and bank statements from your previous country of residence, etc.).

Congrats and all the best!
Thank you so much

Update on my daughter's (Infant, NDVO) timeline:

Application received : 4 May 2018
AOR : 9 Jun 2018
Medical request : 15 Jun 2018
Medical check performed : 25 Jun 2018
SA : 26 Jun 2018
Medical passed: 29 Jun 2018
Pre-arrival services mail: 10 Aug 2018
PPR: 13 Aug 2018

Could you kindly let me know what the Pre-arrival services mail is?
I also received a letter on June 22, which said "Great News! Your application for Permanent Residence has arrived in Hong Kong. We are really looking forward to working with you on your journey to immigrate to Canada! It’s time to start thinking about your move to Canada and here are some resources that we hope you’ll find helpful.". Then 2 months passed, and no news updated. So is this the Pre-arrival service mail?

Thanks.

That doesnt look like a pre-arrival services mail. It looks like your application has been tranferred to HK and they have acknowledged it. The pre-arrival services looks like:-
