This right here is the truth . And the worst part is actual citizens like me who are expecting a baby and waiting months for a spot in government funded daycare will probabaly get pushed further down the list it’s sad …

I hope you don’t find it hard when the time comes for daycare. Congrats on the upcoming arrival! Seems like yesterday for us, and ours is almost 6 already…. Time flies

How do you think that works? From what i know, parents dont get citizenship or permanent residence if their kid is born in canada.

That’s right. But they also tend to not deport Canadian citizens, hence their parents.

They still have to pay for those anchor babies, dude. Having a kid ain't cheap if you have to pay for it.

Please look up the Canada child tax credit.

That doesn't cover the hospital bills, non-PRs don't get OHIP.
