Hi, I hope somebody can help me by answering my questions. I was born in Canada and have a Canadian & Ecuadorian passport, and my wife is Ecuadorian and we are currently living in Ecuador. My mother was born in Canada and is in the process of obtaining her Italian passport/citizenship (my grandparents are Italian). Just a few weeks ago we found out that we are going to have a baby, so we started to think about our baby and what would be best for our son/daughter.
Is it possible for our baby to have 3 passports? to be born in Ecuador, Canadian (automatically because I am Canadian) and Italian (my mother). I am guessing that once my mother obtains her Italian passport, in order for my son/daughter to get it, i would have to as well. The only problem, if one or all of the countries do not allow triple citizenship, is that I would have to renounce my Ecuadorian citizenship in order to get the Italian citizenship.
One last question, before knowing about the pregnancy, my wife and I were planning to visit my family in Canada for a few months. If my wife only has a tourist visa and we decide to stay in Canada to give birth, would my wife have any type of healthcare coverage considering that I am a Canadian citizen? Obviously I would have to be a resident for 3 months to receive my health card. We are not planning to give birth there, I was thinking of that option. If she is not covered, any idea how much a standard birth would cost?
Thank-you
