I am getting married to a Canadian in September. It looks like we should apply inland?? I am living in the US, but he has a good enough job that I could visit long term after we are married while we wait for PR and not work or hold a job here. My question is, if we apply for my permanent residence, and while it is being processed I plan to visit most of the time, should our child (expecting) be born in the US or Canada if we can plan it that way?
Should our child be born in the US or Canada?

US.
The US has more opportunities (job/business/academic/research) than Canada.
That said the difference in status does not matter much because a Canadian
citizen can work in the US on a TN visa. This visa can be extended foreever;
however it is only for certain occupations. We dont know whether this visa
category will survive long term.

We actually plan to live in Canada for the next 6 years or so until he completes his apprenticeship and gets his schooling payed off. After that, we may just relocate within Canada. I guess what my question really is, is will it make a difference as far as the immigration process goes if I have the child in Canada or the US? If I am only a PR, I won't be entitled to free healthcare as I understand it or will I? Will it cost more for baby to become a citizen? Can we get any kind of insurance, and will it be easier as far as the paperwork goes if the baby is born in the US? Will I be still be eligible for medicaid in the US if I am a PR of Canada or in the process of becoming a PR?
