There is plenty of time to apply for a SIN. Once you have gotten the citizenship certificate and happen to be in Canada, you can go to Service Canada and apply. Your child is not missing out on anything not having a SIN for the first few years of their life.
Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

Hello. Hope someone can help me with this. I was born in 1980 in the states. My mom is Canadian and was born in Canada. She was married to an American for many years. I also spent a year in High School in Canada going to school. I would like to know which do I apply for or what steps do I need to take?
Do I apply for proof of Canadian citizenship or apply for citizenship ? Thanks.

Hello. Thanks for reply above. So after I apply for proof. I plan to live and work in Canada. We have been married for a good number of years. How can my wife live and work in Canada? She has 10 years experience in advanced accounting work (SEC reporting). She has a college degree in accounting and half way to a Masters. If anyone can tell me the best way would be great. Thanks.Leon said:
Hi Everyone,
I'm filling out the CIT 0001 form now, for my child who is born in USA.
Note: I was born in Canada and am a Canadian citizen.
On form CIT 0001, section: gathering documents, it asks for birth certificate (of baby), my birth certificates in canada, and:
Two (2) pieces of personal identification, such as a driver’s licence and a health insurance card, one of which must have your photo on it.
What have other people used for these "2 pieces of personal identification"?
Please help.
Thanks.

I had another question maybe someone can help me with. I am having trouble with this part.Leon said:

I have searched can't find my answer to this. I do have a driver licence with my photo. For number 2 - health insurance since under my wife name only has her name on the card. I also don't have a passport yet as I haven't started the process for it.
So what else can I use for number 2? Thanks
No I don't have a US passport yet I was waiting to apply for one . So is that only other thing I can use with my Driver License since my health card not in my name?Leon said:
What else can be used? Can I find a list?
What about a USA Social Security card does that work?

I would just get the passport. You'll need it anyhow.JJ9912 said:
Not sure I completely agree with Leon (a first!) about the fastest way for your wife to find work. As an accountant, she may be eligible for a NAFTA visa which would enable her to begin working more quickly (assuming she found work quickly). I don't believe there's any reason you can't get a NAFTA visa while you are applying for permanent residency, but you'd need to double-check. For permanent residency, you'll need to compare whether applying inland and simultaneously applying for a work permit, or applying outland and waiting for the application to be processed, would be faster. It can be hard to guess which will be faster.
Hello Friends.
My wife is a Canadian Citizen living with me in Pakistan. We just had a son (2 months old now). We have applied for his proof of canadian citizenship from Pakistan (He is eligible as wife is a naturalized Canadian Citizen). My question to you pertains to tracking: We got a letter from the Canadian High Commission. It has a 'receipt number' of 6 digits. Now when i try to track this application from the CIC.gc.ca website. I'm not sure what unique id type to select from the drop down menu.
The choices are:
Client ID Number / Unique Client Identifier
Receipt Number (IMM 5401)
Immigration File Number / Application Number
Record of Landing Number
Permanent Resident Card Number
Citizenship Receipt Number
Citizenship File Number
Confirmation of Permanent Residence Number
Which of the above should I choose?

My brother who is a Canadian Citizen and daughter born in Pakistan, Islamabad.
he went to apply for her canadian citizenship certificate and found out that the passport will not be issued until he receives the citizenship card for the baby.
Every consulate has different rules. we cant force the consulate to issue a passport to a baby when the citizenship card is still in process? This is Wired !
they have plans of visiting canada this june. But there isnt any valid reason they can tell the consulate to push for the temporary passport
what is the next step?
