Subject: validity of a canadian PR visa
  Once your received your PR visa, until when is it valid? Is it one year from the date of the medical exams or 6 months from the date the visa is issued?

I´m currently living in Manila and 5 months pregnant. It would be a big problem for me processing the papers of my newborn baby ´coz it takes months here to get a birth certificate and a passport. I´ll be giving birth in May and we might receive a letter from the Canadian Embassy soon for our medicals. My husband and I are looking at the time frame if ever we have to ammend our application with the embassy.

Something to remember is that you may have to postpone your medical exam until after you have the baby. Part of the immigration medical exam includes having chest x-rays taken, which most doctors will not do if the person being examed is pregnant because it may harm the baby.

If you and your husband get your requests to have medicals performed before you give birth, you may want to talk to the medical examiner you chose and see if they´ll perform the exam since you´re pregnant. If they won´t perform it you will need to contact the consulate and explain to them that you won´t be able to submit your medical exam until after May. I would recommend postponing your husband´s medical exam until that time as well, since medical results are only valid for a year after the exam and they will need both of your medical exams to finish processing the application.

You may want to consider contacting the consulate now, before they send out your medical exam request and tell them about your situation...they will probably be able to better tell you what you need to do/what you should expect to happen.
