We are landed Canadian permanent residents with Indian passports but currently living in US. We are expecting a baby soon. we have options of having the baby in US or in Canada. If we have the baby is US could there be any problem when we move to Canada to live there?
Check with Immigration Canada. You may have a problem showing your status if you had your baby in another country (other than an emergency) and were not resident in Canada. But you need to check Canadian immigration laws.
To suggest that the poster take a shower first to me sounds derogatory and even racist. The poster introduced himself as an Indian. East Indians love for spicy foods and onion/garlic makes them a bit different from others if you know what I mean. So, it's not funny to suggest that or make a joke.
My answer to the question is that there's no problem giving birth in the US. The baby automatically becomes a US citizen. Even the illegals who give birth in the US, their children become Americans if born on US land. So, this favors the parents who have plans of settling down in the US and hopefully someday also become US citizens. After he is born, you must return to Canada to comply your residency requirements as permanent residents or you lose this if you're outside of Canada longer that it's required. The child doesn't automatically become Canadian citizen because he's born in the US. He could be once he reached the right age. Since Canada has dual and even multiple citizenship, all of you would be Canadians and Americans.
Noting, of course, that the child cannot sponsor his parents for US green card until he reaches 21 years of age and is able to prove he can support them--assuming the sponsorship laws don't change. In the meantime, having a child in the U.S. confers no immigration benefits on the parents.

Hi, I am Canadian Citizen and I came to the states to see my fiance and plan our wedding...I got pregnant. I did not have my indian status yet either, I do now and I recently was granted travel document so I can come and go between countries.
Anyhow, I had my daughter here in the US but am bringing her to Canada tomorrow morning actually and I plan to find out all there is to know about making her dual citizenship. Born in US and gonna be raised here.
I am Ojibwe from Northern Ontario and have border crossing form, is that what you have?
I don't think there is a problem because you are both biological parents of said child, and you're both canadian citizens. Make sure you have babys birth certificate (long) whichever country you decide the birth to take place in. Congrads btw!
You're correct dragonlady. I did mention they're East Indians the country close to Pakistan. I just felt that jokingly telling them to take a shower first sounds nasty to me. Anyway, no big deal.
And to you antifacial, antihuman or antiyourself...welcome back after a long pause. If you got nothing better to say, get out of here!
Actually, the spice used is most often curry and sometimes saffron (the most expensive spice in the world). The smell is usually sweet and not at all unappealing.
The East Indian people are very clean (part of their faith belief), cultured,reserved, and gentle. They have a wonderful culture and history. The people are generally very good looking.
But one cannot argue with bigots and racists. So the rest of us have to try to make the world a better place one moment at a time.
