Canadian Citizen’s Claim On Indian Women Seeking Free Births, Citizenship Sparks Fury News24 –

Chad Eros, a Canadian citizen, recently sparked a heated debate with a video claiming that many pregnant Indian women are traveling to Canada to give birth. According to Eros, this practice is a strategy to secure Canadian citizenship for their children, which could later allow the sponsorship of extended family members. He alleged that maternity wards in Canadian hospitals are overwhelmingly occupied by these women, as shared by a nurse’s comment to his niece.

Concerns About Overburdened Maternity Wards

Eros acknowledged Canada’s commitment to providing equal care but expressed frustration over the strain on hospital resources. In a post on X, he wrote:
“The nurse told my niece the maternity ward is full of Indian women flying in to have their babies and gain citizenship for them. Canadian hospitals don’t turn people away, but I wonder how they enforce bills on foreign patients. They return to India with their Canadian-born child, and later, that child can sponsor their family to move here all at taxpayers’ expense.”

Mixed Reactions from Canadians

The video has drawn a range of responses. While some support Eros’s concerns, others argue the issue stems from gaps in Canada’s immigration and healthcare policies rather than the actions of any specific group. One user commented, “If the government allows it, it isn’t illegal. Restrictions need to be implemented at the policy level.” Another wrote, “This has been happening for years, not just in India but across several Asian countries. It’s a loophole in the system.” A third added, “The concern is understandable, but the problem is systemic, not tied to one nation. Canada’s policies need reform.“
