So here is the situation,
my fiance is a uk citizen staying with me in canada under a visitors. We applied for a visitor extension last month and it is still being processed as we speak. I am currently pregnant with his child and am due to give birth in 5 weeks. We plan on possibly getting married shortly after the baby is born, and applying for him to live in canada under the spousal application. The problem is, after the baby is born, I plan to go back to work full-time, so i wouldnt have to have income assistance, which would depend on him staying at home with the baby. my worry is that he may have to go back to the uk to get his medicals and all that done, and if he had to do that, he would have to stay there a couple months until he got the money for a flight back. During that time, I would be forced to apply for welfare, as i would have to stay at home with the baby, which would make it difficult to apply through spousal as I would be on assistance.

I guess my question is, is there a way of doing this without him leaving the country? and having a child with a canadian citizen, does that give it a higher chance for the application to be approved, or is that irrelevant? and also, if he receives un-employment from his country, would he have to cancel that before applying?

He does not need to go back to the UK to have his medicals done, it is perfectly acceptable for him to get them done in Canada (any Designated Medical Practitioner anywhere is acceptable), lots of applicants who are visiting with spouses do so, as it may be cheaper in Canada than the UK.

Having a child is no guarantee of approval, it doesn't mean you have a genuine relationship, it means you are both capable of reproducing.  Some persons have not been above using being the parents of a Canadian-born child to try to remain in the country when they are otherwise inadmissible, so CIC takes a somewhat dim view of it now.  Overall, it has no more weight than any other factor in proving the genuineness of your relationship.

If he is receiving unemployment benefits, it does not make him ineligible to be sponsored.
