Already two steps ahead. Have a meeting with them this week. Don't know whats so ridiculous about my question. If emergency scenario and her OB doctor is in US and he wants her to go there to hospital, why would she go to hospital in Canada? 

Should I put her english name in parenthesis after her name in Chinese on this document? If so, do I need to have an official translator sign off on that translation or is that not necessary? 

Mother's first option would be to relocate from Toronto to Fort Erie Canada and have baby in Buffalo, NY so really I am asking on her behalf regarding the logistics of it. We plan to have multiple children god willing so future children would not be eligible for the dual citizenship birth rite so dual citizenship isn't really that much of a concern for us.

I figured that was the case but just wanted to ask. I know back in the olden-days, my great Aunt was able to do that where she would go to Canada for 6 months at a time and just cross the border to reset the clock but I'm assuming times have changed and they have gotten more strict about it.
 
Regarding question #1, is that also a for-sure no regarding having the baby in the states?
 
I'm not trying to offend anyone with these questions, just want to explore every possible option even if they are "dumb" questions.

Beautiful. So birth certificate is sufficient for both thats great news! 
 
Canadian birth certificate will allow entry into US and US birth certificate will allow entry into Canada.

We are only a 2 hour drive from each other so no need for flight.
 
I guess I don't understand what's wrong with strong immigrant intent...
I mean, if we were trying to get her here illegally or something, why would we go through the trouble/finances of applying for CR1? I feel like that should show we are trying to do things the right way and why would we jeopardize that by having her not return to Canada. You don't think if we were just honest with them, then they would admit her? I mean the truth is, we may feel more comfortable with the OB care near me than near her. If she resigns from her job, I can support her financially and will have already added her to my heath insurance plan. She still has an apartment in Canada that she can return to. So yeah, thats just the facts...

OK, the living with me here seems out of the question. It did not hurt to ask and I'm glad I did. So, she will stay in Canada (perhaps as close as 30 minutes away from me) and keep her current job (works remote).
 
Two questions for you:
1) Now, can she give birth in the US while she is still in CR1 process or is that also out of the question?
 
2) If she gives birth in Canada, can she and the baby come to visit during the CR1 process?

Gotcha. I'm assuming the US border guards are able to tell how long someone has been in the states for, correct? Like, if you say you are going to visit for a week but actually stay 6 months lol, they would definitely notice that the next time you try to gain entry correct?
 
I know a lot of ifs on the pregnancy side because I've read that its ultimately at the discretion of the border guard to grand or deny entry. But only asking because we felt more comfortable with the OB care in my area vs her area.

I know that, but how do they know how long you have stayed for? Like obviously they know when you enter because they scan your ID, but how do they know the date you leave? I'm truly curious. Obviously the Canadian authorities will know the date you are coming back into Canada. Do the Canadian computers speak back to the US computers?

She would not be working in the US while visiting. She would be working remote from Canada albeit much closer to the border (so only 30 minute drive away instead of 2 hours). She would only be visiting on weekends or PTO like she does currenlty

Thank you for the reply. The beneficiary would be the person pregnant. Do you know of anyway we could have a baby together before the K1/CR1 process is complete and be together during the pregnancy/birth?
 
For example, I take a leave of absence from work and care for her (6 months at a time) in Toronto, Canada and she gives birth there (she is employed and has health insurance through work). Or, she takes leave of absence from work (visits USA 6 months at a time) and gives birth here in New York (but not sure how that would work with insurance; even if we are married not sure if I can add her to my health insurance plan).

Thank you for the response. Yes, that is something she is very excited for lol (the potential 18 months paid time off). We talked today about the possibility of her relocating apartment to Fort Erie which is very close to the US border so that I could potentially visit everyday. She works remote so location for her doesn't matter and Fort Erie is probably only a 30 min drive for me compared to 2.5 hours for Toronto.
