Born outside Canada to CDN parent who was also born outside of Canada - Clarify?

[bichonfrise74]

Hi,

I am got my Canadian citizenship back in 2007, then my daughter was born in the US in 2011. I "think" my daughter is a Canadian by birth based on what I read from this thread and based on this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=365&top=5 . Am I correct on this correct?

Then when I looked at this link: https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/children/birth-abroad
It says that I am not obliged to register the birth of my daughter but apparently I need to apply for a certificate of citizenship for her.
If so, should I use this form? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/proof-how.asp

Assuming this is correct, in the document checklist: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/citizen/CIT0014E-2.pdf, under the identifying documents, two pieces of information, she has a USA passport, but she doesn't have anything else (she is only 7 years old). What kind of identifying document can she use? Can I use her birth certificate?

Thank you for all the help.

1) If by "got" your Canadian citizenship you mean you were naturalized as a Canadian citizen, then, yes, your daughter born in the USA is a Canadian citizen.

2) Yes

3) Does your daughter have a U.S. Social Security card (usually applied for at birth nowadays)? If so, use that.

Note that any certificates you send with the application will not be returned.

Thank you for your reply... in case, others have similar question... I 'got' my Canadian citizenship by being naturalized.
