Researchers cross-referenced immigration records with hospital births by foreign mothers who paid for medical care. “Of some 265,000 hospital deliveries annually around 92 to 93% are by mothers who are Canadian citizens or landed immigrants, wrote researchers.

“However, the 6,000 included cases where fathers were Canadian or foreign mothers had a legitimate reason to be in Canada. More specifically around 4,000 births were by temporary foreign workers, more than 1,000 by international students and around 1,000 by refugee claimants and temporary resident permit holders annually.”.The report points out there have been numerous media reports on the issue and petitions calling for the government to implement measures to reduce or eliminate the practice.
“Some say that Canadian citizenship should only be granted on an automatic basis to those born in Canada if their parents are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Others say that Canadian citizenship should continue to be granted on an automatic basis to anyone born in Canada even if their parents are only here temporarily or illegally,” said a 2015 Tracking Study questionnaire by the department.
