Hello all, Is it possible to apply for a temporary passport outside of Canada without a Canadian citizenship certificate? (The certificate has been applied for - the baby is Canadian and he is 3 months old) Or is the LVP (limited validity passport) my only option? Thank you

After I applied for my baby's citizenship in Nicaragua, I ran into a bit of a situation where i needed it to be processed faster so we can get out sooner. I was told to write a letter explaining my case and they can speed it up and expedite it in some cases. I'm not 100% sure. But maybe explain...

Hello all! I have sent away the citizenship application for my 3 month old. He was born in Nicaragua but I am Canadian, i guess that makes him Canadian too, lucky kid. I was told I could fill out the Form PPTC116 to get the passport faster. I am going to fill it out now, but do I just fill out...

Do I apply for the limited validity passport while I'm applying for the citizenship? Or do the passport first? And where can I find the limited validity option?

Ah. Like he would have to essentially have the Canadian citizenship or both Canadian and Nicaraguan documents to travel?

Oh I understand he's got to have a Canadian passport. Totally. He's Canadian. He can't just go into Canada without documents. BUT because the processing times of the citizenship are probably going to take longer than 5 months, And I want him to be able to go home for Christmas, can I just apply...

So he CAN'T travel on a Nica passport? As in he cannot come with me unless I have his certificate of Canadian citizenship? I sincerely hope you're not saying my baby cannot travel with me just because he's half Nica and half Canadian and won't have his citizenship in time. I mean, if we have...

Hello everyone I tried calling the number on the website for Canada and couldn't get through. So hopefully someone can help. I am a Canadian citizen living in Nicaragua. I have been here over a year now. I want to go back for Christmas this year. I just had a baby, who is of course part...

Well that's good to know. I guess it's just as simple as applying for the citizenship and getting a passport and such to be able to travel to Canada and meet the family afterwards. The one simple thing out of all of this haha

I only wanted it in Canada because my family is there, the citizenship (not sure how difficult that is to get outside of country, not like it's a HUGE deal) and healthcare. I mean, if I can't jump on the healthcare wagon and be helped by doctors with great equipment who also speak my language...

I would have no problem moving to Canada to get all that stuff sorted with insurance IF my partner could come with me. However, that's clearly going to be very very difficult. Nobody wants to go back to a country without their partner while their pregnant. Or, at least I don't. Looks like we...

I would of course start reaching out now and finding help, or some kind of insurance that would cover me when I go. There has to be some kind of option for people who wish to have their baby in Canada but don't have MSP (albeit an expensive one) I happen to have an aunt that is a midwife too, as...

ohhh dear. Perhaps a home birth would be better. Gosh. I couldn't imagine having that hospital bill

Ah yes I just read about the wait period too. Not to mention, I won't be in Canada for 6 months after baby is born. So I'm sure I don't qualify for for anything in that case. Baby is due late June. And I would probably return mid May

Makes sense for them I guess. Wonder how expensive that is to give birth haha. I will definitely be calling them before I commit fraud unknowingly. So happy you guys informed me of this. THANK YOU

I was living in BC, so I left in March 2018 and went back in December 2018 for 3 weeks only

So I I'm the canadian but my boyfriend is Nicaraguan :( So I'm sure they would be concerned about HIS overstay sadly

I certainly did not... I just kept paying thinking I would be okay :/ I should have researched that. I wonder if you can purchase a certain healthcare thing for having a child there if you're from Canada? This just keeps getting more and more complicated haha but thank you so much for pointing...

Sadly, deeffinitley would not be able to fund the trip by himself which I know is a huuuge killer. I can't imagine how many people struggle with that. People here make a dollar an hour. It isn't easy sadly. Not that we're going to be doing any trips or anything while he's there. I mean...
