heyy,
1st of all dont call it as unfortunate !! ??? ??? ??? ???
Now read below carefully, my reply should set your mind at ease :-
You must let us know at what stage is your application....
1) did u get a PER from CIC
OR
2) Did you get a 2nd AOR from the VO after file transfer?
As mentioned by a forum member above, after PER or 2nd AOR, you can add the baby (if delivered) to your application by paying fee, giving birth certificate and PP details etc.
But, having saif that u must wait for the delivery...there is no point if you just tell VO that ur wife is pregnant and due for delivery...let the baby arrive 1st (fortunately though!!) and then inform the VO accordingly...
Dont take tension, as the date of delivery of ur baby should be important and then be linked with the stage of ur application then (medicals done or not -again as mentioned by one friend above - u have to decide whether u should allow X-ray of ur spouse at that stage or not- i would say dont do it)
Now, be mentally prepared that this 2nd fortunate parenthood will cause a little if not a significant delay in processing of your application...so you should not be unduly concerned and put ur head to rest, and also start preparing for celebrations for the new baby...relax and have faith in GOD, everything will be okay !!
Now, last but not the least....see my application timelines on the left panel...let me tell u that my wife was at the end stage of pregnancy when I applied deliberately to make sure my application reached before changing of rules on 1st July 2011...My son was born on 9/8/11 and is now 2 month old..i have his BC in hand and PP applied...will soon add him to the application
Hope that helps
