I'm a bit conflicted in this, because Canada has similar issues with this but it's more "birth tourism" where people from various other countries come here for a limited time - have a child who is entitled to citizenship and all the benefits - and then leave. That child spend decades never setting foot in the country, but still be eligible for a passport, voting rights, and many other such things despite having no significant ties to the country, and neither parent being a citizen
How is this an issue? How many people do you honestly go abroad explicitly to give birth there to gain the system?
Sounds like you fell for yet another outrage clickbait. If 100 people do this, whatever. I rather have this than someone being born in a country and lives there their entire life but has no right of nationality there because their parents weren't there for 5 years prior to their birth or whatever the fuck the law says.
UK has no citizenship by birth type and it hurts way more people than could ever hope to abuse it.
It’s “game the system” just so you know.
Thanks, I typed it in at half 1 in the morning, brain cells weren't at their capacity.
I looked it up there were 3,575 non-citizen births in Canada in 2023.
I couldn't find any numbers on how many were deliberate
So less than 1% of natural born Canadian citizens in 2023 were to non-citizen parents? Really send like it's not that big of a deal at all
If someone uproots their life to go and live in a different country and contribute paying more taxes than average family with zero safety nets? They earned it.
People love to act like immigrants have it somehow easier... While they're heavily discriminated at every step, pay extra for just about everything and come with less money moving in, no family house to fall back onto etc. The entitlement I've seen in my life disgusts me.
That's also not counting the # of people that try and fail.
Border services can turn back people who are pregnant and close to their end-date
Ah yes, the "outrage clickbait" that is a known issue and has been the subject of numerous studies by government and reputable institutions both pre and post pandemic.
Guess we should send the border services agency a memo that it's probably only a hundred people and they should remove it from the things they literally screen for, because some Internet genius is sure it's nothing to worry about...
