Bring new born child to Canada

[sam_99]

Hello,

I'm a Canadian Citizen living in Canada and my wife is a PR holder

She recently gave birth in India to my child and currently she is in India

How can I bring my new born child to Canada?

Is it possible to apply for passport directly from India? or do I have to apply for Canadian citizenship certificate first and then apply for passport? What steps should I take to?

Please advise, Thank you in advance!

The child needs their own certificate.

You can try for a temp passport while you wait for the certificate.

this is what the canadian embassy will do for you first ,because you cant have a passport unless if you prove that he is canadian first .
so certificate first and then passport

You need to contact the Canadian government office abroad in the country where you child is at this time.

Information on temp passports is here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/travel-documents-non-canadians/document-types.html
