I am canadian through naturalization. I was naturalized 2010 and moved to the US since 2011 till today. I plan on moving back to canada with my children (1st born was born in canada, 2nd is born here in the us). My problem is how to bring my 2nd born son. What kind of process or forms do i need for him. Please help. I'm looking to move by the end of the year.

Very simple. If I were in your case , I would get his American passport and then once you are here I would start the process to get his Canadian citizenship certificate.

Obviously, you can ask for his Canadian citizenship now while in the U.S. but that will take months and months, so it depends on your timeline...

If the immigration agent asked you about his status, tell them you will get his Canadian Citizenship certificate soon, he shouldn't have any issues entering Canada with his American passport.
