If the baby is born in Canada, it will be a Canadian citizen. Having a Canadian baby will not change your status in Canada. You are still a visitor and have to leave when your visa expires. The child will be able to get a Canadian passport for travel and will have the right to live in Canada when grown up. As a visitor, you are not covered by health care. The bill to have a baby in a Canadian hospital I have heard numbers between $5000 and $8000. If there are complications, it could be a lot more.
