Permenent Resident

Hi,
Me and my wife have applied for PNP on 23 October 2013 and expecting it to get through by June 2014. We had a plan to apply for PR immediately as we receive PNP, so that we can migrate at the earliest.Now my Wife is pregnant, and am concerened if our migration will get delayed further since we might get rejected in medical test at the final stage of PR processing. Kindly suggest if there is any way that we can migrate without delay.

You can't be approved for PR without passing the medical. To pass the medical - both of you need to complete an x-ray. Most doctors recommend against doing an x-ray while pregnant since it may harm the unborn child - but ultimately this is your decision.

If you decide to hold off doing the x-ray until your child is born, then your wife will complete the medical apart from the x-ray and then notify CIC that she is expecting a child and cannot complete the medical. CIC will then put your application on hold until your child is born and your wife can complete the medical. At that time you will also have to add your child to the aplication.
