My Babies Future - Please your Response

Whew this thread exploded! Almost afraid to step in, but something seems to be amiss. Do you and your new husband both want the same thing for your children? If so, it makes sense for you to come to Canada when you can to settle and find work. Perhaps your husband will not have as good a job at first as the one in Mexico, but he would be earning his Canadian experience just as you did. Or you could settle in Canada and he can work in the Mexican job until his sponsorship comes through. As previously stated, airlines are reluctant to board after six months pregnant. This means you would have to come to Canada and live for about four months at least. Unlikely you would find work, or want to work at that stage. Factor in the cost of health insurance and living expenses and thousands of dollars for delivery. Would your husband be able to enter Canada without a visa to be with you during this time or would you have to deal with this alone? Add to this if you have no intention of moving to Canada to keep residency requirements, how fair is it on Canadian tax payers to provide university and college education to your children when you have briefly paid taxes during the one year you worked here? Why would you want your children to be Canadian and yet not be here with them? This is what doesn't make sense to me. You gave up your opportunity for the Green Card to care for your father. That indicates strong family ties and responsibilities. It sounds like you and your husband still have some discussions ahead. Come and contribute to our country and enjoy the rights along with the responsibilities. Good luck and have a good life.

to the original poster, the answer to your question is yes, as many pointed out. If the current laws will be in place in a few years, then yes, you'll have that possibility.
and to those, who were so quick to judge - I would say do not be so quick!!!
You don't personally know that person, and she isn't abusing the system, she is contributing to the economy, applying for the PR with the intention of settling down, but just not sure at this moment how it will all play out, envisioning the possible move. I understand those things completely, as life is complicated sometime.

Contributing to the economy? Applying with the intention of settling down? Where did you see either of those things in her original post? She clearly says that she wants the PR so that her kids can be born citizens, and then they can enjoy subsidized education, on-demand free healthcare and all the other benefits at the expense of us taxpayers who have to bear that burden now and in the future.

Sorry for being so harsh but I'm tired of footing the bill for PR's/citizens of convenience.

Exactly.

If you really want the best for your kids and you think a Canadian passport is the best thing for them, then work for it. Get your pr, sponser your husband, have your kids here.

Work hard and contribute to the country, start a life for your kids here.

Thank you all for your answers.
I just got in to check the post and sorry if I offended anyone.
We have no intention of doing anything wrong, that is why I was asking to have a better understand, since all this is new to us.
If it is not possible, it is not possible and life goes on, good opportunities always come along to good people no matter the place (and I speak from experience) but thought to hear from you guys and it seems I did. Thank you again for your opinions and for taking the time.
Just one recomendation to anyone: Don't be too quick to judge that is not a good trait in anybody.

In my country, I worked for a multinational and after 6 years working with them, they gave the opportunity to work with them in Canada, which I was thrilled. I have been here for a year and I am about to submit my documents to become a resident since I am in a working visa now, however I am about to get married and my future husband has good work experience (UN and World Bank) but no Canadian studies or work experience from Canada so it is hard to get him a good job here.

Just want to encourage you to keep looking, at least if that is what your future husband wants. In Canada, the biggest barrier to finding a job is the work permit / permanent residence status. If you were to get married and get your PR status, he would have a much easier time finding employment. Don't know where in Canada you're located at the present, but with his background, the obvious place to look would be Ottawa.
