My wife is currently in Canada and is 8 months pregnant, she will be giving birth in march and I am going over there for 3 and a half months to see my child be born. I was wondering what kind of Information they can see on you. I have a bit of a background of traveling to canada...(see below in brackets) If you just want to see question skip brackets.

[The last time I went to Canada to visit I was turned away do to not having enough ties/money. The circumstances are as follow: I was previously there visiting(my fiancee at the time) for 4 months when we found at that she was pregnant 1 month before I had to leave. So we kind of panicked and didn't know what to do. We decided that when I left we'd book my another trip for a month later so I could be there for her pregnancy and hopefully apply to stay.

Well, I got to the border and stupidly, I thought everything would be okay. Having been only gone from Canada a month and with little money. Obviously it wasn't and I was deemed inadmissible. I was allowed to withdraw my application to visit and to come again when I got more ties.] END

Well here we are 6 months later, and I'm visiting again for the birth of my child, I have a Job, money saved up that I can show, and I even got time off from my job to go see my child and stay for the 3 months. I own a truck, and I have three dogs to take care of now. I'm renting a room from my boss currently. So no apartment or anything...

I was wondering if this would be sufficient ties to be accepted into Canada?

What exactly should I show to prove ties? I also would like to know what information they can see on you such as ,job,criminal record, where I live, etc?
 
It's very difficult for any of us to say if what you have now will be considered as sufficient ties since this decision is up to the immigration officer you encounter at the border. The fact that you have already been denied entry once certainly complicates the situation and makes it more likely that they will examine you more closely when you enter this time.

The one thing that does jump out at me is that you want to visit for three and a half months. This is a fairly long visit and after you've been denied entry, I think it may be safer to try for a shorter trip first (maybe three weeks?). But this is just my opinion. Also, if you tell them that you are coming into Canada for three and a half months, then I think anything you supply in the way of evidence of a job is probably meaningless since it really can't be that permanent a job if you're able to leave it for three and a half months. At least that would be my perspective if I was an immigration officer.
 
I have leave from my job for paternity reasons, where I live we have a law/act called the fmla (family medical leave act) which entitles us to 12 weeks of leave for any reason pertaining to family, or medical.

My boss gave me time off in accordance with this act for the 12 weeks.

But can't the canadian spouse visit you in your home country? This way both of you would not be separated.

If you were already rejected once for a TRV, then you would most likely just be rejected a second time if you applied again, unless your situation has changed significantly.
You should have your spouse visit you, if you want to see each other during the process.
