Really disheartening to know that Indian people are taking this route to exploit the taxpayers money. We the middle class or the lower middle class who have spent more than half of our lives here paying taxes and having come here legally after waiting years and years to receive our PR and for some this all looks like a piece of cake. Yes every parent wants a good life for their kid and this will apply only if you are in a bad situation or dangerous situation. What will you tell your child once he grows up that you sought a crooked way to give him birth in order to give a good life?
You are living in a Country making decent income so apply through legal process and come and avail all the benefits.

Am sorry i am not in favour of baby tourism and i accept all the harsh comments from the people of this group.

Nobody is using taxpayers money here. The OP is ready to and would have to pay for the medical expenses.

The healthcare system is publicly funded in Canada. It was built for the people living here and yes people from outside Canada come to avail treatments by paying heavy medical expenses. Whereas the people of this country have to wait months and years to avail a surgical treatment due to the backlog and shortage at hospitals. This is happening only because preference is given to visitors who are ready to pay heavy expenses to avail the same service as we the "taxpayers" who are actually entitled should be availing.

Again i am not against anybody at all, just the method used here is wrong and again am ready to accept the harsh comments.

Where did you read that preference is given to visitors ?

Preference is as per the issue not residence .

Preference as per issue is the protocol to follow which they follow in hard time emergency cases. I have not read it anywhere, this is based on personal experience up to 4 times. A lot of my colleagues have experienced this first hand and my clients who work for healthcare have stated this as well. They are bound to do so by the hospital management. Ob/Gyn are given authority to take cases like this as its much revenue generating. But now the Federal Govt is under immense pressure to crack down these kind of births. A petition is already circulating. OBs are warned not to undertake any such kind of cases as it might later affect their licensing issues.

Looks like everyone is in favour of this kind of exploitation. People who voice out their disapproval will alas be made silent.
