The situation in the United States is similar to that in Canada. They are all born with landed citizenship. If the baby is born in Canada, he will naturally become a Canadian citizen and enjoy various rights such as compulsory education, social welfare, and the right to vote. In fact, the Canadian Maple Leaf Card is equivalent to the American Green Card, but it is a long-term residence permit. You must live in the country for two years within five years, or be employed by a Canadian company.

Holding a Maple Leaf Card can apply for a health insurance card in Canada, and then enjoy Canada's free medical care and welfare. The baby is a Canadian citizen when he is born in Canada, has Canadian nationality, and holds a Canadian passport. Even if he leaves Canada and never sets foot in Canada again, he will still not lose his Canadian citizenship. There is only one situation, that is, automatically applying for renunciation of Canadian citizenship will lead to the loss of Canadian citizenship.

So after the child is born, just apply for a Canadian passport. Having a Maple Leaf Card only means having the right to live in Canada for a long time. If you are Chinese, then you are still a Chinese citizen.

If both parents are Chinese citizens and only have Canadian visas and have not obtained any status in Canada, the child must be 18 years or older. After the age of 18, you can apply for dependent immigration. After successful immigration, you can hold a Canadian Maple Leaf Card, live in Canada for a certain period of time, and have certain tax records. In this way, you can apply for Canadian citizenship and change from Chinese nationality to Canadian nationality. There is a big difference in enjoying Canadian benefits between holding a Maple Leaf Card and holding a Canadian passport. For example: if you hold a Canadian passport, you can enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival benefits for more than 100 countries around the world, but if you hold a Maple Leaf Card, this benefit does not exist.

The above is the difference between holding a Maple Leaf Card and holding a Canadian passport. Canada has landed citizenship. In other words, Canadian nationality is determined based on the principle of territoriality. Therefore, after the baby is born, he will definitely have Canadian nationality and hold a Canadian passport. Therefore, pregnant mothers who go to Canada to give birth to their children must understand this issue.
