Child Born in Canada to a mother on student visa and father a PR

[Katrina29]

Hi there,

I understand our baby to be born in Canada will become a Canadian Citizen automatically. My boyfriend is a PR, however, I am on a student visa. Being a mother, will I also get a PR status or Citizenship? If so, how does the process go?

Thank you.

Katrina.

Congrats on your coming baby.

Yes, your baby will be a citizen if born in Canada. Unfortunately, you cannot get PR or citizenship status simply for giving birth to a child in Canada. However, U may be able to get your boyfriend to sponsor you as a PR or just apply yourself (if you qualify).

The process? It depends on which way you wish to or can go. More details might get you more specific answers.
