این سوال مطرح شده است که آیا بدنیا آوردن فرزند در کانادا باعث خواهد شد که در دفعات بعد، ویزای بازدید (توریستی) برای والدین فرزند بدنیا آماده در کانادا صادر نشود یا نه. برای پاسخ دادن به این سوال باید به مقررات اداره مهاجرت کانادا مراجعه کرد تا ابتدا حکم گرفتن ویزای بازدید برای شخص باردار مشخص شود:
There are no elements of IRPA which refer to this right. Giving birth in Canada does not represent a violation of any terms or conditions which may be applied to a temporary resident. Thus, there is no provision in IRPA to refuse a TRV solely on the basis of the intent of the applicant to give birth in Canada.
بنابراین بارداری می تواند به خودی خود نمی تواند منجر به رد شدن درخواست ویزا بشود. درهمین مقررات به این نکته اشاره شده است که اگر شخص متقاضی ویزا باردار باشد باید به نکات زیر توجه شود:
When it is known that an applicant is pregnant, assessment of the application should focus on the requirements applied to all applicants for a TRV. The fact of the pregnancy may be an element in the assessment but only in so far as it affects the assessment of the primary requirements for issuance of a TRV:
Consideration of the pregnancy and the stated or apparent intent to give birth in Canada must relate back to one of these essential requirements for TRV issuance.
در عین حال برای مواردی که بارداری ممکن است با خطرات شدیدی برای مادر یا بچه همراه باشد مقررات خاصی درنظر گرفته شده است:
While a "high-risk" pregnancy might create excessive demands, this would normally be speculative and would not apply to the future child, who would become a citizen at birth; concerns regarding the demands that may be placed on health and social services by the child after birth in Canada may not be used in assessing the medical admissibility of the TRV applicant.
In applying the guidelines on temporary residents seeking medical treatment in Canada, officers should focus on available financial support as part of their assessment of admissibility.
A medical examination should only be requested in exceptional cases, where the information from the examination would be material to the assessment of the application.
مخفی نگهداشتن این موضوع هم ممکن است در برخی موارد منجر به عواقب و آثار قانونی بشود:
The application form for a TRV asks the applicant if they or any accompanying family members have any physical or mental disorders that will require social or health services during their stay in Canada. Answering "No" to this question should not normally be considered misrepresentation in the case of pregnant applicants, given the terminology used. Pregnancy may not normally be viewed as a "medical condition".
However, pregnancy or the intent to give birth in Canada may be material facts in the assessment of the application which, if we are not advised of the pregnancy, may go unexamined; such facts may be material to the assessment of arrangements for treatment, of the financial ability to cover the costs of treatment, or of the intent to depart from Canada, for example. Therefore, in some cases the intentional concealment of intent to give birth in Canada may lead to an examination of admissibility under A40.
بنابراین بدنیا آوردن فرزند در کانادا، غیر از مواردی که در مطالب فوق به آنها اشاره شد، علی القاعده اثر منفی بر درخواست های بعدی ویزای بازدید نخواهد داشت.
