Amazing, that's very helpful. Thank you!

My husband, a Canadian citizen, is in the process of sponsoring me and our children. I am pregnant and we will not be moving before giving birth here, but I would like to get the paperwork done and approved now. I'm finding conflicting advice online about whether we need to mention my pregnancy...

I understand that, but in this case (where my husband actually lived in Canada for more than 10 years), this results in the children of a citizen by birth have less of a claim to citizenship than the equivalent case with children of a citizen by naturalization - hence the 'paradoxical' part.

Thanks! Interesting and somewhat paradoxical.

Why is that? Nothing on their site suggests it - or am I missing something? Also, would you know if the 3-month period (where it applies) is supposed to be a maximum or a minimum?

Thanks! That's the part that confuses me - I took the parent "also born outside Canada to a Canadian parent" to mean one that never lived in Canada. At what point does the "generational clock" restart? (Take naturalized citizens, by contrast.) If our children aren't citizens by that standard...

Oh well. I figured. Just checking if there's an angle I left out. My husband is a citizen and (if I'm not missing anything) I should qualify for PR.

I'm an American citizen married to a Canadian citizen moving to Canada in the near future, and I'm not sure of our children's citizenship status/eligibility, especially since citizenship law has changed twice since my husband left Canada (2007). My husband was born in the US to one Canadian...

I'm moving to Canada soon and I'm planning to stay with relatives for a short while until finding an apartment to rent. I need to apply for PR - how would I prove my residency without bills etc.? Thanks!

My husband and I are moving to Ontario in the near future, aiming to start university this January. I'm also due in mid-December. I can't begin my move before early September. While it seems that I'm eligible for OHIP, there is the (maximum?) 3-month waiting period to consider, making our...
