I am married to a Canadian citizen, we have a 3 year old daughter that was born in US and holds both US and Canadian passport while I on the other hand only have my US passport and have never applied for residency in Canada. I am sponsoring my husband to be a green card holder in US where we plan to raise our children, but while the paper is in process my husband is still in Canada working while our daughter and I resides in US. Now my daughter and I arrived in Canada almost 2 months ago and we recently found out that I am one month pregnant. We only planned on staying until September but now that we are expecting I would like to stay with my husband during my pregnancy and pay for medical expenses (pregnancy check ups and ultrasound) out of pocket. And if my husband still does not have his green card, (permanent residency card) on my due date then we might just have to pay the medical expenses of giving birth here out of pocket since I have not applied for a canadian residency. (IF giving birth will not cost us more than 5-10k)
Now my question is:
Is it difficult to request and be approved for an extended stay in Canada? (US citizens can stay up to 6 months in a full year)
Is there any way, or any medical insurance I can purchase here in Canada so that my medical expenses for my pregnancy will not cost so much? The only medical coverage I have is in US (kaiser permanente)
If I give birth here will my baby's children (someday) born abroad be Canadian citizens as well?
