Child Born Abroad

[micbc]

Child born abroad. Has dual citizenship (American and <soon to have> Canadian.
When we fly back to Canada, if the child does not have their Canadian passport yet but they do have their American passport, will they be allowed into Canada?

What do you mean by soon to have Canadian citizenship?

Yes - will be allowed as a visitor. Apply for a Canadian citizenship certificate and subsequently passport asap if one or both parents is/ are Canadian. This can take sometime though.

They will be allowed to fly into Canada but when you pass immigration, you should explain that the child is a dual citizen and that you have applied for his citizenship certificate.

Baby should have Canadian Citizenship Certificate when we fly into Canada

Thank you!
