Canadian citizen sparks outrage with claim that Indian women fly to Canada for free births, citizenship at taxpayer cost

Amid growing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, a viral video has added fuel to the fire, further igniting the ongoing debate about immigration and healthcare policies. The video, shared by Canadian user Chad Eros on X, claims that Canadian maternity wards are being flooded by pregnant Indian women who are flying to Canada to give birth and secure Canadian citizenship for their babies. A Canadian man sparked debate with a viral video on pregnant Indian women flying to Canada to give birth. He claims that these women are taking advantage of the country’s maternity services to ensure that their children are granted Canadian citizenship, all at the expense of Canadian taxpayers. One user wrote, “This is a real problem that needs addressing,” while another stated, “It’s unfair for taxpayers to bear the cost of these practices.” Some users defended the practice, saying, “Every mother deserves good healthcare, regardless of nationality.” Other commenters were more sceptical, with one remarking, “I don’t believe these claims without more evidence,” and another adding, “It’s easy to point fingers without considering the bigger picture of immigration and global mobility.” A user also pointed out, “The issue isn’t the women; it’s the policy that allows this to happen.”
