Did you already do the medical exam?? If not, it's not recommended to do x-ray portion while pregnant. So in this case your PR app will be delayed until after you give birth, and then complete x-ray part of medical.

If your child will not be a Canadian citizen upon birth (depends upon status of your sponsor), they will also need to be added to the application.

What province would you be moving to?

As mentioned, you won't get PR status until you do your medical exam which you can't do while you're pregnant. So there is effectively zero chance your PR would be approved before your baby is born.

Ontario is the destination.

IRCC does not expedite apps because of personal life choices like pregnancy.

Ontario has a 3 month waiting period for healthcare after landing as a PR. If you are at least a few months along in the pregnancy and you've only just submitted your PR app in April, there is pretty much no chance you will have health coverage before the birth. You would be required to pay all costs yourself.

As mentioned, pretty much no chance you will have OHIP for delivery.

You should budget at least $10,000 for pregnancy related checkups and the delivery. In case of something like a c-section being required or any complications arise requiring an extended hospital stay, that amount can easily double or triple or more.
