I'm in a pickle now and would like to get your insights on this.
My AOR in May of 2018 (FSW-O, US), currently the application is in IP2 status and I'm optimistically expecting PR in November of this year (fingers crossed).
But wife and I are expecting a baby in January 2019 so I'm really confused as to what to do. Should we get our PR Visa stamped and soft-land if possible before the baby comes, then sponsor PR for the baby from the US and once the baby received it's PR, then move permanently? Or when requested for Passports, tell them about the future born baby? Or tell them now?
I honestly have no idea what to do and what are the consequences of each option.
Option 1: If you get PPR and travel with spouse before child birth --No problem, You will have the baby there and get his/her PPR sorted over there.
Option 2: If you give birth / or decide not to go before birth,once you give birth,raise a CSE and inform of new addition,a medical for the bay plus the passport will be requested.If you have already gotten your COPR,it will be requested to be submitted and a fresh one will be issued to all of you guys.
Option 3: If you get PPR and passport request and baby is close,you can immediately inform them you are expecting and would like to add baby,in that case,they can give you say 60days to complete all documentation which would include new born.With this,you wont have to send passports back and forth.
Others can add more inputs.Everything written is based on my understanding and not specifically FACTS.
Thanks for confirming.
After a long wait, with God's blessing, I have finally received PPR email today.
Below are my details and timeline for everyone's reference:

PNP-O Ontario

For the guys still waiting, I know the wait is excruciating, but have faith because sooner or later we all will reach our destination. Be Positive
I have been looking at this forum for a while now. Updating my details which might help other applicants. (already updated MyImmiTracker)
Stream: CEC Nationality: India Country of Residence: Canada AOR: 19 May 2018 Medical Passed: 30 May 2018 IP2: 30 May 2018 (No updates after this stage) PPR: 3 October 2018 (10:31 PM EST) - No updates/changes on my online account and I know this is normal.
Notes:
- I did not contact CIC regarding the status of my application as it was still under the average processing time - 6 months.
- I would advise all the fellow applicants to follow the same. I believe one should only panic and contact CIC if the processing time has exceeded 6 months or there are other complications/changes in your application. Other applicants might need to get in touch with CIC more than you do and we all know the frustration when you are not able to reach them.
- Good Luck and have patience
