Urgent Advise Need:Wife Pregnant & moving to Canada on workVisa &have ITA for PR

[maniesh4u]

Hi All,

I am in kind of tricky situation here. I am working in USA and i am moving to Canada on Work Visa W-1 with my wife in a week's time. My wife is pregnant and is travelling with me to Canada and we are planning to have our baby in Canada on December 2016. In the mean time i also got ITA for my PR via express entry with Provencal nominee. My questions are

1) Do i need to mention about my wifes pregnancy in cover letter for PR. Will it cause any issue ?
2) Do so see any issues in travelling to Canada with my pregnant wife ? My employers says its should be ok as she have valid Canada dependent visa and they will cover pregnancy.
3)Do I need to apply for PR to my new born in canada or will the baby be canadian citizen by birth ?
4) Any complications that you can foresee in the PR process due to my wife's pregnancy.

Please advise. Any suggestions will be really helpful.

Hi

1) No, you don't need to mention the pregnancy.

2) Depending on the province you move to, you will most likely have a waiting period for provincial healthcare. If your wife gives birth before being granted health care, it will be a minimum of several thousand dollars, much more if there are complications.

3) Canadian citizen.

4) If she needs to have the medical done before the baby is born, you guys will need to decide whether to have the chest x-ray done or to wait until after the birth. Given that she is due in a few months, this most likely won't be an issue in terms of the application processing time.

Yes, you would need to notify them of the birth by sending a copy of the child's Canadian birth certificate.
