Can a Tourist give birth to her baby in Canada?

We are Indian passport holders and expecting our child in July, 2010. Wondering if we can have our child in Canada? We are not worried about the related costs.

Could there be issues with obtaining a tourist visa for 3 months or more?
Would the authorities allow my wife to enter Canada in 6-7 months of pregnancy?
Would the child obtain a Canadian citizenship if born there?

P.S: We are planning to apply for a Canadian PR under Skilled Migration in Feb, 2010 We are also open to applying as an investor as long as the application is processed faster with a positive outcome.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You mean 2011. I don't know if they'll let you in, but the chances would be pretty good if you drive across the border. The child would be a Canadian citizen.
