Pregnant after receiving PPR

[hummingbird98]

Dear forum members,

My husband (principal applicant) and I through Express Entry just received the Passport request email from IRCC as part of our PR application. We are thrilled to say the least!

However we also recently found out that I am about 4 weeks pregnant, with the due date approximately in July. Our Medicals expire July 2021, and I’m assuming this will also be the deadline for our COPR expiration, once issued after our passport submission.

We are based out of US on an H1B visa which is also due for a stamping if we step out of the country. There are currently no dates available, in Canada or elsewhere. Due to the current visa restrictions as well as my pregnant status, especially during Covid, it makes the most sense for us to have the baby here and then leave the country for Canada.

Is there a way that IRCC will extend our COPR beyond July?

Any suggestion will be much appreciated. Thank you!

Can't say for sure if they will extend it or not as you still have 7 months to go on your COPR, there are many applicants with expired COPR who are still waiting for extensions. Since the baby isn't born yet, you don't have to inform them or anything, so maybe see how it goes and try to land before July. You are exempted as ur coming from the US though
