Became Canadian citizen after my son born in India

[skamya]

Hi,

Good Afternoon,

I would like to enquiry about my son sponsorship to bring him to Canada. My son born in India on Feb8th, 2022 and I became Canadian citizen on April 26th 2022. Can you please suggest what are the options to bring him permanently to Canada. Also please suggest can I apply citizenship to my son since I am citizen now.

your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Regards
Kamya

I will answer NO because your son was born before you became an Canadian citizen. you must sponsor him as family sponsorship.

Your son is not a Canadian citizen. You can sponsor him to become a PR.

He is not entitled to citizenship immediately since he was born before you became a citizen.

As said above, you need to start by sponsoring him for permanent residency.

Once he is a PR, you can then submit a citizenship application for him.
