Hey yvonnem, I had my PR granted on 31 OCT2013, after our baby was born on 27th August. You would definitely have to wait till your baby is born for your PR. But out of baby bonus, and paid parental leave by government, you can choose only one. So dont worry, even if they dont pay you for parental leave, you will get $5000 baby bonus in installments. Any other questions, dont hesitate to pm. I understand your position 100%. Cheers n good luck.
