Hello,
I am a Canadian citizen who has been living in the US on a green card for the last 5 years. I am looking to return to live in Canada with my family but I have a number of concerns.
My concerns are as follows:
I have a new baby and a wife who is American. I think that since I am the father and I am Canadian that makes my baby Canadian by birth. What I am concerned about however is the following:
If I get a job and move my family to Canada will my daughter have immediate access to health care to take care of her baby needs?
Secondly, can I bring my wife into the country on a visitor visa and then apply for permanent resident status for her? Or is there a different method that is required?
I am not concerned with her ability to work right away so much I am concerned that she is able to be in the country legally and then be entitled to health care within six months or whatever the wait time is.
