A doubt....

What happens if a baby is born in Montreal from a visitor woman? How is that baby considered? Could the woman stay in Montreal because of this baby?

Hi

1.  The baby is a Canadian citizen.
2.  It confers no rights to the mother.

Ok. But what is the mother supposed to do?  Give the baby in adoption? Or she could have a special permission  to work there to support the baby?

She takes the baby home with her.

Hi,

PMM is right, the baby is automatically a citizen, and the mother can take the baby with her to her home country.  There is no law in Canada that will force the mother to give the baby up for adoption. 

Look at the bright side - the baby is born in Canada - the last I heard, unlike Canada, Germany requires that a baby born in Germany is not an automatic citizen unless one of its grandparents was born in Germany.

You can always apply for a work permit in Montreal, but do not use the baby as the reason, as your work permit application will not be approved on those grounds.  Of course, your baby's information can always be part of your application.

Good Luck!

Warm regards,
Libra.

Hi Libra,
Yes, I just read what you wrote in the other forum, and it's clear. My visitor's visa is valid until 2010. I'm not in Canada right now. But if I went, would I have the possibility to be there for how long maximum as a visitor? Should I leave the country after that maximum amount of time? Could I go to the US for a while and then go back to Montreal ?
Thanks a lot for helping!
Ditto PMM!

Hi Pauszwarc,

Thanks a lot for clearing that up.  Okay, it looks as if you have a 3 year multiple entry visa to Canada.  That's very good!  Congratulations!  Also, please free to correct me about this if my guess is wrong.

Now, when you have such a visa - that is the multiple entry visa - it means that you can enter and leave Canada for many visits during the three year period; however, on each visit, you are NOT supposed to stay past 6 months.  If I were you, I will not jeopardize this privilege because in most cases, it is hard to come by this visa type.  And, you do not want to loose the trust that your Canadian Consular now has for you - they trust and believe that you will not try to stay in their country for more than 6 months, UNLESS, if you have some exigent business or personal circumstances like completing the brokering of a business deal, and only then should you apply for an extension from within Canada, with vital proof to show why they should extend your maximum 6 month stay.  This 3 year multiple entry visa is yours - use it wisely.

Also, with regard to your next question, as long as you have a visa to come to the U.S., unless if your country is visa-exempt, then you can travel between the U.S. and any province in Canada at any time by road or by air or by rail. 

And yes, you can stay in Canada for a while, not exceeding 6 months, go to the U.S. for a while and go back to Montreal.  But be careful, because an immigration officer from either country can use his or her discretion to deny you entry to either country if you develop a pattern of moving between the U.S. and Canada for a long stretch of time without going back to your home country.

So, it is best that you exercise some caution, do not overdo anything with that visa, as you would like it to be renewed until things work out the way you want.

Finally, if you have not done so, make sure that you apply for a Canadian passport for that lucky baby when you come to Canada.

I hope this helps.

Have a wonderful week and Good Luck!

Warm regards,
Libra.
