baby born outside canada to a canadian citizen father

because you immigrated and got your citizenship, your baby is entitled to citizenship... as said, you just need to apply for the "Proof of citizenship" card and travel papers (emergency passport or whatnot) at the canadian embassy...

notify CIC once the baby is born and apply for his/her birth certificate and birth country passport (may be needed in conjunction with travel papers)... nothing is impacted about the PR application you already have standing.. they will likely just want to see the child's bc (if the visa has not been issued) to note them on the account... they might want to see the travel papers too, not sure...

she won't loose anything other than a few pounds and a lot of sleep after the baby is born

Note, if you have travel plans, CIC Sydney sped up my process for my kids (it took 2 weeks) when I indicated we intended on reestablishing Canada when my visa was issued. Never hurts to try.

your baby will be a canadian citizen after birth. his citizenship card will take about a year.you can apply for a canadian passport for him before you get his citizenship card, all what you need is to show the canadian embassy in your homecountry a plane ticket by his name.
nothing to worry about i have passed the same situation before.

Just to share my story. My kids were born outside canada to a canadian father and i am not canadian. We had plans of returning to Canada. Husband had been out of Canada for about years.
As soon as we got here in canada in November of last year we put application for "prrof of Canadian Citizenship". Its pretty much a basic form asking some questions. 8 weeks later, we got their citizenship cards in the mail.

I copied and pasted this link from the cic website

If you were born outside Canada to a Canadian parent on or after January 1, 1947 A birth certificate which lists your parents (issued by responsible government authorities in the country where you were born)
Proof that one or both of your natural parents were Canadian citizens when you were born
Two (2) pieces of personal identification, such as a driver’s licence and a health insurance card
Other documents, such as a marriage certificate/divorce certificate and/or a legal name change certificate (if applicable)

Here is the link to the application and instructions

Hope it helps and good luck.
