[mickay]

Hi i just wanna ask if the child born in canada with both filipino citizen parents (status of parents in canada is still on processing of permanent resident visa - they are not yet PR) what would be the citizenship status of the child?


Hoping for your feedback...

Thanks and regards!

The child is a Canadian citizen (assuming the parents aren't diplomats).

what does it means the parents aren't diplomat?

what does it means the parents aren't diplomat?

A diplomat is a person sent from their government to act as a contact in a foreign country. The ambassador of the Philippines is a diplomat and so are some of his staff.

Were you or your spouse appointed by the Philippines government to be sent as staff to work in the embassy? If not, then you are not a diplomat and your child will be a Canadian citizen if born in Canada.
