PR Interview - New Baby

[pstvak]

I got a letter saying that I need to attend interview in Seattle on March 15th. We have a baby born in US 4 months back.

--We are not sure whether we want to get PR for our baby right now. Can we say that in the interview? Will that give any wrong impression that we are not serious about the PR? Should we need to include baby details in "Background Declaration form"?
--If we want the PR for baby, since it's only a month before interview how we can proceed? me & spouse are getting medicals now, should we include baby medicals also? Will this cause delay in getting the PR?
--Also CIC site has list of Authorized Doctors and says "Your own doctor cannot do the medical examination. You must see a physician on Canada’s list of Designated Medical Practitioners.". Is it true. Should I go through one of the doctor in list Or any doctor(MD) can issue medical transcript?

thanks

It does not matter if you want to get PR for your baby right now. You will HAVE to inform Seattle that you have a baby now and send in the baby's information.

It will be very obvious to the immigration officer that you are not serious about settling in Canada if you tell him/her during the interview that you do not want PR for your baby.

I guess you are waiting for your US GC to come through and have applied for Canadian PR as a backup. Its perfectly fine but please dont make it obvious to the immigration official by saying that you dont want PR for your kid.

As it is very clearly mentioned on the CIC website that only doctors designated by them can do your medical so please follow their instructions. Check the list of the doctors authorised by CIC in your area. Call up a couple of them and inquire about the cost - it varies a lot.

The doctor can do the medical of your baby too. Hope that helps.

I have included baby

Today moring I have had interview at New York City. I included my 6 month old baby today by showing his passport and birth certficate. They asked me to mail them his photos(3 nos), his application fee and Right of landing fee for us. Once they receive them, they said they would send us medical forms for baby. And they should receive the baby medicals before the expiry of our medicals, other we have to take the medicals again.

Hi Kamineni99,

Can you please let me know your timeline. I am also waiting for an interview in NYC so it would realy help me out.

So how was the interview? Did they tell you if you passed?

Kenny04,

Myne is a long story. Applied for PR in year 2000 from India, got it transferred to Buffalo in 2002, included my wife in 2003, I did medical in May/2004, wife in July/2004.

The lady who inteviewed me yesteday is polite, elaborative and very nice black lady. Waited 1.5 hours including 30 mts early arrival time before the scheduled time. Interview took 40 mts. She checked my origianal present and past employment letters, passport, h1b approval notice, recent 2 paychecks, last year w2 farm, my eduation certificates. She was not interested looking at my wife's docs.

She did not take any copies of the above docs, eventhough my interview letter has asked me to carry a set of copies of originals.

She did not mention about the marks or whether I passed. Since she asked me to send the right of landing fee, I thought everything fine.
