Nowadays, many pregnant women choose to go abroad to give birth to their children, so that the newborn will directly have the nationality of the foreign country! Speaking of whether you can obtain a Maple Leaf Card, in fact, if your child is born in Canada, he or she will have Canadian citizenship, and there is no need to apply for a Maple Leaf Card.

According to the policy, as long as a child born abroad has one parent who is a Chinese citizen at the time of birth, and the parent who is a Chinese citizen is not in the status of "residing abroad" at the time of the child's birth, the child will automatically acquire Chinese nationality at birth.

By the way, it refers to those who have foreign permanent residence PR, that is, Maple Leaf Card. They are folk who have settled in foreign countries.

In this way, once a child is born, he or she will be able to enjoy Canada's various welfare benefits, such as Canada's twelve-year compulsory education, which provides free tuition from kindergarten to high school. When entering university, they can also apply for a variety of scholarships. Especially for the highly valuable citizen-exclusive scholarships, international students have no way to apply, but Jiabao can still apply for low-interest grants and interest-free loans with an interest rate of only 1%. When children graduate from high school, they can be admitted to world-famous schools as easily as local citizen students. However, if ordinary international students want to enter a prestigious school, they must go through extremely fierce competition to do so.

The child has an identity, but what about the parents?

Generally speaking, when a child reaches the age of 18, he can apply for a Canadian Maple Leaf Card for his parents based on dependent immigration, thereby obtaining permanent residence in Canada and completing the family's immigration plan. Each step can be implemented in an orderly manner, without the need to waste time and energy going back and forth in various document submission and review processes like other immigration channels.

Finally, it should be noted that if a child is born with Chinese nationality, he will always have Chinese nationality. In both Chinese and Canadian laws, there is no mention of “choosing” nationality, and there is no mention anywhere that failure to do anything will result in loss of Chinese or Canadian citizenship upon reaching adulthood or at other ages.
