Are you by any chance married or common-law (having lived together 12 months) with the father of the child?

Once your child is born, you MUST add them to your application as a dependent. There is also a simplified medical exam they may need to do. Yes this may cause a delay to all but to not do so will be considered misrepresentation, would mean you can never sponsor child in the future, and could affect your entire family's application.

No, not married not having lived together 12 months. So if i delay my application by adding my baby to it, my mom's and brother's applications will be delayed to? Our application number is same but imei number is different.

Since you are being processed in a single application with your father sponsoring his family, then yes adding your child to the app should result in a delay for everyone. I would expect a few months delay or so, but really depends how quickly your visa office can process addition of new child to your father's app.

Since your father is now sponsoring a spouse with dependent child, who has dependent children of their own, I believe he must now also pass a LICO income test to be eligible to sponsor.

If they use COPR and land while you are still pregnant, this would be ok since the family information is still the same.

However if you've already given birth and then they use their COPRs to land, this could be considered misrepresentation since the baby was not declared at the time of their landing.
