Hope everyone is running fine with good health. I have a few queries. I am a United Nations personnel.I like Canada.I want to visit Canada along with my wife during vacation. At the same time we are expecting a baby. Now if my baby is born there:
Will my baby get Canadian passport before I leave Canada?If yes then how many days require?And what are the formalities?Any special criteria is there or not?
Will the baby get child benefit if I stay outside of Canada?
As parents are we eligible to be citizens of Canada?If yes then after how much time we can apply for Canadian citizenship?
Can I apply for health insurance during traveling?If yes, what is the expense?
How much money I should carry for this trip?
If all the answers are positive then we may be considered in which category as a citizen?
I would be highly benefited if you kindly answer my questions ASAP.
You cannot claim child benefits if you are not a resident in Canada.
You (the parents) will not be granted Canadian citizenship. For that, you must apply for permanent residency and meet several requirements, including residency requirements (at least 3 years of physical presence in Canada).
You will have to pay for your medical expenses. Since you are not a Canadian resident, you won’t be covered by provincial insurance plans.
As a side note, giving birth in Canada just to get your child Canadian citizenship is highly frown upon by a number of people. I am not saying it is your case, just FYI.
