hello i need your advice..im currently working in Riyadh KSA and my working visa in canada is on process and i just found out that im 4 weeks pregnant and were not married of the father of my baby..what should i do?will this affect my visa processing in canada?i need your reply please......
 
This should have no affect on the process of course, you need to add the child once it's born it may delay things if baby is born before processing your visa is done....
 
It depends on how long your working visa takes. If you come to Canada to work and you are pregnant in your last month, immigration may have 2nd thoughts about letting you in as you will not be able to perform your work and will soon be having a baby and taking maternity leave. Another problem is that if you are going to a province where you have a 3 month wait for health care, you will have to pay your own health care expenses in the meantime. If the delivery happens before you get coverage, you will have to pay for that too.

However, if you get to Canada soon enough, you have to work for 600 hours (about 4 months full time) before you will earn the right to get maternity benefits and you would be covered by health care before the baby is born.
