As birth tourism rises again, will Trump’s citizenship moves send more Canada’s way?

February 3, 2025
Vancouver-based birth tourism operator Liga Lin says her phone has been buzzing with inquiries from expectant mothers since U.S. President Donald Trump moved to end American birthright citizenship.Lin’s business, New Joy Postpartum Care, arranges accommodation and services for non-resident women – mostly from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong – who want to give birth in Canada, granting their children automatic citizenship rights.The industry also exists in the U.S., but Trump’s executive order seeking to end the right to citizenship at birth on American soil has thrown it into disarray, even as the measure was blocked by a U.S. district court judge who called it “blatantly unconstitutional.”
