Bring new born child to Canada

[sam_99]

Hello,

I'm a Canadian Citizen living in Canada and my wife is a PR holder

She recently gave birth in India to my child and currently she is in India

How can I bring my new born child to Canada?

Is it possible to apply for passport directly from India? or do I have to apply for Canadian citizenship certificate first and then apply for passport? What steps should I take to?

Please advise, Thank you in advance!

You may find this covered in the citizenship or family spnosorship sections.

Short form: contact the embassy/high commission/consulate/consular section. Ask for assistance. You will probably be told to apply for a temporary passport for the child (usually/often by providing/applying for citizenship certificate at same time or first and then providing copies of the application).

They will usually issue the temporary passport (may refer to it slightly differently) on basis that the child is presumed to be a citizen.

Doesn't affect much as infants often issued short-validity passports anyway. When citizenship is confirmed you apply for a new passport.

Hi Sam Please connect with me I'm in the same boat.

You expect someone who's not active for 6 months to connect with you?

Just a small hope if anyone in the same boat can guide me. I want to bring my child here. Its really stressful by looking at all these steps.

You need to get the child's Canadian citizen certificate first before you can apply for his or her Canadian passport.
