plan to deliver baby in canada

You will need to be in Canada before you can find a doctor.
Do you already have approved TRVs to come to Canada? Do you have the funds available to pay for the delivery? You should have at least $10,000 set aside - although the costs could be substantially higher if there are complications.
Considering the surge in asylum claims from Nigerians, your first and biggest hurdle, IMO, would be to be approved for TRVs
An obvious question would be "Why?". It won't help you get to Canada as Permanent Residents for many (22+) years, and that's only if you are lucky.

Not at present.planning to pick one,but thinking i would need ob/gyn letter to show with application
Mt request for a family doctor is to get the necessary documents that my wife wants to put to bed.we don`t plan to settle down in Canada yet.just have the baby and leave
If you include this information with the TRV, you're guaranteeing the TRV is going to be refused.
but at point of entry,how will she successfully gain entry to the country,seeing she is pregnant
She will be question on why she is visiting and how much funds she has during her visit. IMO, she will be denied entry because CBSA officers are now trained to detect tourists such as your wife taking advantage of the immigration system to give Canadian Citizenship to your baby.
She needs a valid TRV to board the airplane for Canada. She will not be allowed on the airplane without a TRV. To be approved for a TRV, you must show that you have very strong ties to your home country and have no plans on remaining in Canada long term. If you say that you are coming to Canada to have a baby, this will sound like you have plans to remain in Canada long term and IRCC will refuse the application.
Even with an approved TRV, it's still possible to be refused entry at the border if CBSA officials have concerns you have plans to remain in Canada long term.
This is why coming to Canada to give birth as a visitor is very difficult and also risky.
pls what do you advise we do.......to be candid,our aim is to secure Canadian citizenship ,if not in the immediate but future.
Well i advise against this strongly, because first of all it will be very expensive for you to have your birth here if you are not covered by any health insurance. Secondly, most hospitals may deny accepting your wife as a patient because you have lack of insurance and they don't want to take risks if you decide to pay cash during your stay. Lastly, not all pregnancies will go smoothly. How are you going to cover if something happens to your wife and the baby?
Unless you are really rich and can afford over 1 million dollars of medical care then by all means go ahead but this is not a feasible plan as IRCC keep records of entry by all foreign visitors so your chances of visiting Canada in the future will be difficult if they find out that you are doing this.
For just the child or for you as well? As I said before, it will be a very long time before you can benefit in any way from having an "anchor baby" in Canada.
A lot can happen between now and then as different governments change the rules, perhaps to block exactly what you are attempting to do...
ok guys,so we would apply for visiting,enjoy ourselves and return back to motherland.
so the next question would be how to apply successfully for a visiting visa
