To clarify, they are citizens by birth. Naturalization is when a person immigrates and then becomes a citizen.

You are wrong. A child is Canadian citizen if they were born here in Canada. Naturalization is when you applied and received your Canadian citizenship. My baby was born here and gotten her Canadian passport and birth certificate as well.
