Hi,

I have received invitation to apply in May 2017 and have to file application by August 15 2017.

Currently my wife is 2 months pregnant.

Should I include my baby in number of family members? And also show proof of funds for 3 family members instead of 2?

Please confirm.

Thanks

You do not need to inform IRCC of pregnancy. Plain and simple. You can't add someone to an application who hasn't been born and your POF is only needed for 2 people.

You can get medicals done, just tell the panel doctor that your wife is pregnant, and she will be excused from doing the X-ray, which can be dangerous for the baby.

Hi J-A,
My kid was born after I received an ITA. While filling a e-APR there is an option to add the family member. I did the same and it works. Hope this helps.
Good luck and wish you a enjoyable parenthood ahead!!!
