Hey Everyone,

I have received PPR on 4th October but my wife is pregnant now and we are expecting a baby in First week of Dec.

Now that I have received the PPR and have 20 days left to submit the passport so should I submit it or not?

TIA

You should:

1. Submit your passports
AND
2. Inform IRCC about the impending birth of your child via the "IRCC webform" (Google this).

The reason for doing both is that sometimes they can take a few weeks to look at the email you send them, and you don't want the PPR to expire while your request is waiting in someone's inbox.

They will give you the CoPR and your visa, and then you can wait for your baby to be born - UNLESS your CoPR is somehow expiring before December (this is not very likely). If it IS expiring, the principal applicant will have to land and become a PR.

Assuming that your CoPR is not expiring before the birth of your child, you simply wait for the baby to be born, and then inform IRCC and ask them to add your child to your PR application. This will take a few months, and will require new CoPRs, but it's usually quite straightforward.

Then, once all three of you have your new CoPRs, you can make plans to fly to Canada before the new CoPRs expire.

Note that is is mandatory to inform IRCC after the birth of your child. You cannot fly to Canada with the existing CoPR after you baby is born - you can only use those before your baby is born.

If your CoPR is expiring in March 2020, they will very probably extend the medicals when they give you a new CoPR. Alternatively, they may ask you to take another medical exam (this is rare).

You will not lose your chance to become a PR because you're having a baby, nor will they force your baby to travel when s/he's a few weeks old. They will issue you a new CoPR and you will have enough time to travel here and become a PR.

Don't worry about it. Contact IRCC and see what they tell you.

I would wait 15 days. They may get back to you in that time. If you haven't heard back from them, and there's only 3-4 days left to PP request expiry, then send the passports.

I am planning to do the soft landing in April/May
Hello Prateek. Can you please guide me based on your experience?
1jul22- baby birth
18jul22 - informed ircc about baby birth through webform
28jul22 - got a PPR for me and my wife only since the baby has not been added to the profile yet.

As of now too, i have not received reply on my webform and my baby is still not part of my application. Can u please give me some lessons from your experience?

Hi there! First of all, congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family! This is indeed a tricky situation. I would suggest reaching out to the immigration authorities to explain your situation. They might be able to provide an extension for your PPR or give specific instructions on how to proceed given the circumstances. It's crucial to ensure that both your wife's health and the immigration process are handled smoothly. You might also want to consult with an immigration lawyer who can give you detailed advice based on your specific case. Best of luck, and I hope everything works out well for you!
