Hello,
We (me, wife and son) applied under express entry and got approval in August 2017. Our visas were stamped in September 2017 with landing date before 30 April 2018. We plan to do our landing by March 2018 and return to home country. We are expecting second baby in the month of july 2018.
I want to know, how would we apply for PR for our second baby, as he/she would be born after we receive our PR Cards. Would there be any issues? Is there anything that i need to inform CICC now? Is there a possibility of delaying our landing till 2nd baby is born?
 
Email CIC saying that you are expecting a baby after the COPR expiration date and plan to give birth in your home country. Email CIC on the email address you received during PPR where they ask you to inform them if you have a baby. In the email ask them the procedure to get the COPR date extended since you are expecting a baby. CIC will send you instruction on what to do next. You do not have to land in March in this case. Once baby is born you will have to get passport ready and submit all passports for 4 of you to CIC along with some additional documents such as showing funds for 4 people instead of 3. Medical for kid and a few more documents and they will process your COPR again. Only then do landing with new COPR.

Note: Above is the process CIC usually follows but make sure to email CIC before April 2018 (current COPR expiration) and get exact procedure to follow. Good Luck.
 
Others can comment but alternatively complete your landing in March, return home to have the baby then when ready apply for a TRV for the baby to return to Canada with you. Once settled in Canada apply to sponsor your baby and extend the TRV as required until the sponsorship is complete.

Based on other posts here CIC generally are not really that interested in pregnancies as opposed to post birth so delaying your landing date adds complexity for the COPR to be issued again with a new date although no guarantee of course they will extend the COPR date due to a pregnancy anyway as opposed to a birth within the current COPR validity.

As said others can comment as well as this is just one view, same as the previous posters one view, suggestion.
