Not will be, they already are by naturalization from the day they were born. ;)

They already hold a document with the Nationality set to Canadian, Right?

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.

if a kid is born in Canada soil, by default he/she is Canadian
if a kid is born in USA soil, by default he/she is American .
