visit visa to deliver in canada

[ooss12]

hi all,

looking for advice or wondering if someone has been in the same situation.

i am a naturalized canadian citizen and have moved out of canada in 2015 as i was laid off and found an opportunity overseas. i married a non-canadian in 2016. last year i applied for my wife to visit canada with me as a tourist and her visa was rejected. i am assuming this is similar to many of the cases in this forum reason being they are worried she wont be leaving canada after we land there. so i never really bothered applying and we ended up going to thailand instead on holidays.

i also never thought of sponsoring my wife as i have no intention of returning to canada at the moment as i work in the oil and gas industry and as you know alberta has been hit hard and has not yet recovered. therefore i wont satisfy the requirement and hence didnt want to apply until things get better in alberta.

Now my wife is pregnant and will delivering in december. i want her to deliver in canada. i was wondering if i apply for a visit visa for my wife with the intention of delivering a baby will it be approved? i really want my baby to be born in canada and i am paying for all the delivery expenses. is there some sort of right for a canadian citizen to have his kid born in canada?
the reason i want to deliver in canada is basically to avoid any issues in the future for my baby in regards "to second generation kids born outside canada rule"

Thanks

If you indicate that the purpose of the visitor visa is to delivery the baby in Canada, this will most likely increase the chances of refusal. I would apply without mentioning this as the purpose and try to provide stronger proof of your wife's ties to her home country.

No - as a Canadian citizen, you do not have the right to have your baby born in Canada.

thanks for your response scylla. guess i missed that part in my first post.

i dont have any strong proof or new grounds to apply again. my wife is not working and she is sponsored under my work visa. i currently have a work permit to work for a company the middle east so we both have no ties to where we are currently residing. so i dont see how we can establish strong ties. thats why i am almost certain if apply again they will most probably reject it as the fear of "here stay there and not coming back is still valid". i have no clue how i can prove she will come back although we really have no intention of her staying at all.

any ideas?

You can always try applying again with the same proof as before. There's always some chance you may be approved this time around. No harm in trying. I don't have any ideas apart from that. If you say you're requesting the visa specifically so that your wife can give birth in Canada, I think you'll be guaranteeing a refusal.
