PR holder sponsoring application for pregnant wife

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hello,
Please need your advise:
I am a Canadian PR card holder and am moving to Canada by Novemebr 2011 end on permanent basis. I got married after I had made my first landing.
Now once in Canada, I need to file application for sponsorship of my wife who is also 5 months pregnant. 
Can I inform the immigration authorities that my wife is pregnant and file the papers now itself? If yes, how do I sponsor my child who is due next year?
OR
Do I wait for now and apply for both wife and child next year after the delivery?
Any other suggestions or what do you people suggest I should do?
Need your help on this.
Thanks

	Well you have to file the Sponsorship Application for your wife first uncluding her medical exams, you may have to inform CIC as you may not till the baby is born, they will know when they get the meds because your wife can not do her x ray meds, When the child is born then you file the application for the baby too since the baby will not be qualified as a Canadian Citizen because you are still a PR. YOU CAN EITHER WAIT UNTILL THE THE BABY IS BORN TO APPLY FOR THEM. There are some senior in this forum who will give you more quidence in your situation. I am in the same situation as you my Application was sent in Semptember when my wife was 2 months pregnant

	I agree with Ben2009 and what i also want to add is that you have to write a letter when submitting your application to let them know that she has not done the medical because she is pregnant. Don't forget to indicate she is 5 months pregnant so they will know when is the right time to request for the medicals. Then when the Bebe is born you just have to notify them the changes in your situation so they will update your file. Good luck!
