Yes that is what I meant. If you receive your PPR, do not wait till you get the baby, just go ahead and send your PPs. In this way you would never be illegal even if the baby decides to peek out the next day after you mail your passports. But once the baby is born before or even after PPR, I would still notify them the birth with the birth Certificate. There is nothing they can do and this will neither affect your timelines - In short, your baby's birth is just for their information... You can email. fax or mail them your baby's Birth Cetificate to them.... (I have always assumed that your baby will be born in Canada - otherwise I do not know).
COngratulations to you and your wife... Babies are amazing and full of life....mine is 5 months and I cannot have enough of her...
Thanks a lot, spet15. Yes, my baby will be born in Canada. I am confused when reading the notice from the Buffalo office website as follows (The Buffalo office seems have a different policy that without adding the baby into the case file prior to sending Passports could have breached the IRPA regulations, which could lead to PR withdrawal. It seems they do not care if the baby is born in Canada or not.):

Important notice for family members:
Do not submit your passports at this time if:
- you have married or divorced since our last correspondence;
- you have given birth or adopted a child since our last correspondence;
- you intend to get married or divorced prior to your landing in Canada;
or
- you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to your landing in Canada
If any of these conditions apply, your new spouse and/or children must be added to your
application and be found admissible to Canada before permanent resident visas can be
issued. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children prior to
your becoming a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent
resident visa. Once your file is closed, you would be required to submit a new
application and pay new processing fees. Any new application would be assessed
under the Act and Regulations in force at the time of its submission.
In the event that you do have additional dependants to add to or remove from your
application, you should immediately advise our office. You will be asked to submit
evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter
advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take
place.
