Where I can find a reliable birth-tourism company that'll help us have our baby in Canada?

We're interested in having our baby in Canada. I'd like to see if anyone out there has done it too.

Birth tourism is now illegal in Canada according to my cousin. She is from Saudi Arabia and has come to the U.S. twice to have her baby. The medical clinic she uses is www.doctoresparati.com/home.html. She mentioned they focus on international patients in late term pregnancy.

Hey there,

Try this Istanbul-based Turkish company my colleague used to give birth in Canada last summer. She was pretty happy with them. She says they speak English.

I would be very careful, Canada Immigration does not look kindly on those who try to get citizenship for their children in this way. They will be asking hard questions at the immigration desk and if you can't answer them, you're on the next plane out.

We just want the citizenship for our baby. We think we can offer the costs that come with this. BTW, I am well aware of the fact that only my baby gets the citizenship by birth NOT us,the parents. So In this case, there is no scam that I get dragged into.

It is NOT legal to operate as a birth tourism company to have a child in Canada. Canada confers citizenship automatically on babies born there NOT on their parents who CAN and ARE deported, thereby separating families.

THIS IS A SCAM to try and gain access to Canadian citizenship by circumventing the immigration rules and regulations by having a baby in Canada.

Immigration in Canada is well aware of this and do take steps to circumvent it.

Again, I ask, why don't you want YOUR child to have YOUR nationality?

Yes it DOES exist and it still is legal to have your baby both in the States and Canada as a visitor.Anyone who is born in USA and Canada is automatically deemed to be citizen regardless of the parent's status or residency or citizenship.

There are such agencies back home in Hong Kong, Singapore and Seoul. Just type it on google I am sure you'll find a few...Young Asian couples are really into this idea. In fact, my younger sister did it in Canada about a year ago. So my niece has become Canadian by birth and has gotten a Canadian passport. Neither my brother-in-law nor my sister were Canadian resident or citizen at the time of birth. The OB-GYN, the housing and the hospital all cost them around 30.000USD. They did it in Toronto and stayed in a furnished home for three months. My sis said everything went good and that they never were treated badly just because they happen to have a baby there as non-residents.

So I think it's for sure worth doing if you want the US or Canadian citizenship for your baby that badly and of course you have money to spend over there...

Another issue, how about the hospital costs. Just to "sit" in a hospital bed as a non-Canadian costs about CAD1500/day (on a ward with 9 other people - not being seen by a doctor, no food, no medicine, no treatment). That's nearly 5000QAR/day before treatment. Can you afford this?

Why don't you have your baby in your country?

There is no such thing as birth tourism in Canada. In fact, you will probably either be denied a visa or turned away at immigration if there is any suspicion that you are there solely to give birth.

This is an immigration "scam" because Canada confers nationality on children born in Canada - but reserves the right to deport the parents. Be very careful. There have been cases where the baby gets to stay, but the parents have to leave.
