Hello Experts,
We have a situation and need guidance from fellow members. I have found some answers from existing threads however not all.
We have already received our COPRs in April'18, with visas expiring on 31 Jan 2019. Our landing is still pending. Recently we learnt that my wife is pregnant, expecting our first child (expected delivery date is 19th Dec 2018). I informed CIC about the pregnancy and received the following response:
Please consider the following options:
1) If you are able to land and deliver the child in Canada, then the child will be a Canadian citizen, and no further action will be required.
2) If you are not able to deliver the child in Canada, then your COPRs and visas will be cancelled and your file will be re-opened for further processing, in order to add your child to your application after he/she is born.
Please advise how you would like to proceed
I am thinking of opting for option2 as we cannot land before the delivery. However I have some questions around this:
1. Apart from retaking medical, updating POF and submitting documents related to the child. is there any other documentation related to me or my wife that needs to be redone ? (IELTS, PCC etc) ?
2. If we receive new COPRs/Visa, our landing date will get extended based on when the medicals were re-taken. Is this right ?
2. Are are any other caveats of choosing this option that I should consider before making this choice ?
Just to let you know that we have some commitments in our present country of residence and due to this, moving to Canada before Jan next year is not possible for us.
Need inputs so that we can respond to the email within 7 days.
Thanks for your time and appreciate your response.
