I came to the US in 2004 on a trip and met and married my husband who is a US citizen. I never have crossed the border back into Canada since that day I came in. At the time Canadians did NOT need passports to enter, so I didn't have one. I have since obtained a Canadian passport last year. We have a 2 year old son and now we want to move back to Canada. My first question is this: Is my son considered a Canadian citizen since I am one? and what kind of paperwork would I have to fill out for him? My husband has a misdemeanor pot possession charge stemming back from 2003, will that affect him in any way in becoming a Citizen of Canada? It was NOT a felony charge. How long will this process take? What is the process, do we file and then get his PS eventually? Or will we have to go to a US embassy here in TX to do an interview? I don't know anything about any of this and it's all so complicated and of course everyone's situation is different. If anyone can help, that would be great
Canadian living in the US, married to a US citizen and have tons of questions!!

Your son is a Canadian Citizen by decent. I'm not sure of the paperwork that goes into that... I took a quick scan on the CIC site, he would def qualify for citizenship under that category. I think you jsut have to get him a passport.
Hi
1. The OP has to apply for proof of citizenship see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/proof.asp After she has applied for proof of citizenship (during the process, don't have to wait for completion) she can apply for a limited validity passport. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2009/ob154.asp
