A number of Chinese tourists are giving birth in Canada as a way to circumvent their country’s strict one-child policy and to get their child a coveted Canadian passport.
There are even companies in some Canadian cities that specialize in bringing over pregnant women from China.
Although the practice may seem deceptive, one lawyer says it is perfectly legal.
