Child born to a Canadian Citizen outside Canada

[Leon]

I think they are not fullfilling the residency obligation (730 days) in the past five years. I need to ask If I apply for their citizenship certificate after two years from now keeping the fact they are living with me (as I am Canadian Citizen). Will that be good enough for fulfill the requirements of RO.

Arif

Yes, if their PR was never officially revoked, they will meet the RO again after they have spent 2 years living with a Canadian citizen parent outside Canada. As long as they are minors.

Applying for "Citizenship" and applying for " Citizenship Certificate" are two totally different things.

You can apply for Citizenship for you kids if they are eligible (i.e. valid PR status) as you are a Canadian citizen now.

Application for Citizenship Certificate aka Proof of Citizenship is for people who are Canadian by descent i.e. a Canadian citizen born outside Canada, to either one or both parent(s) Canadian. They might want to apply for a citizenship certificate to get the passport. This is not your case and don't confuse with each other.

Thanks for your reply.

All I need to know that RO days will be count if they live with me for 2 years or that is also not the case.

hi - im a naturalized canadian , i was married outside canada and had a child born outside canada as well, my question is i want them both in canada - should i directly sponsor them or should i apply for my childs citizenship certificate 1st then sponsor my wife-- please help!! thanz

My understanding of the rules for children born outside Canada to naturalized parents is that your child is a citizen if he or she was born after you became a naturalized Canadian citizen, so you can apply for the citizenship certificate for the child and apply to sponsor your wife at the same time (you don't need to do these applications consecutively).

Their RO days for the PR will be counted if they are living with you outside Canada.

According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas-all.asp if she has a passport from Barbados, she does not need a visa to fly to Canada so you can take her with you on her passport and apply for the citizenship certificate in Canada.

She is, by law, a Canadian citizen. They will not deny her a Certificate of Citizenship.

"Citizens of Barbados do not require a visa to enter Canada as a visitor."

Bring the birth certificate with you, obviously, but it should be smooth and easy. If they do give you trouble, then that's when you say that she's a Canadian citizen and provide proof of both parents' citizenship because they can't deny entry to a Canadian.

 

[Rachael]

PLEASE HELP! Will she be able to get help in Canada after she arrives in Canada how do we get ID for her in Canada and health care do we have to apply for her citizen certificate in Canada as soon as we get here and by applying does it makes her get a government issued photo identification card here in Canada?
