Hi Legal Falcon!!!
I am always grateful for your advice and suggestions you provide to people.....
I have a small query, hope you will help me out..
I received my CoPR yesterday and I validity is until Jan 9th 2018... Day before yesterday I knew that my Wife is pregnant for 1 month... IN the additional paper with CoPR there was some instructional paper stating for first 90 days in Canada I will not be getting Health benefits.. No my query is
1) Since I knew my wife was pregnant 2 days ago, should I inform IRCC about it? If yes how?
You can inform IRCC, but you will not be able to add your baby until it is born. As you need a passport and medicals. You can add a baby right until before you land, even if a CoPR and visa has been issued to you.

2) If I don't inform them now will it effect the health benefits after I move to Canada??
If you don't inform them, you can land in Canada without any problems. You can get private health insurance, or you can return back after landing and have the baby in India. However, if the baby is born in India, you will have to sponsor, and if the baby is born in Canada, you need not do anything. Ideal situation would be, that you land in Canada and register of provincial medical card. Most provinces have a 90 day waiting period. For these 90 days, you can get a private insurance, like blue cross blue shield which will cover you.
Could you please suggest....
