You are right. Your child is not eligible for Canadian citizenship. If you want to move to Canada, you may sponsor your child (and spouse) for PR. As a Canadian living abroad, you must show plans to move when they get their PR. After they get their PR, you can apply for citizenship for your child right away. Your spouse could apply after living in Canada as a PR for 3 years.Grumpy said:Reading through the revised citizenship laws, it would appear that my child will not obtain Canadian nationality on birth due to my having been born abroad. a bit of a shock to be honest as for me, the new law seems to have watered down my citizenship considerably.

1. my wife will be giving birth in september 2011.
2. i got all the forms for Proof of Citizenship and passport (limited validity passport)
3. what exact proof would i need to apply for the kids Proof of Citizenship and to get his LVP?
4. would i need to do a DNA test to proof the kid is ours?
reason i'm asking is i'm only going to be in vietnam for 3 months and wife is expecting baby around mid- SEPT. so which leaves no much room left, which we need to apply for his vietnamese birth cert, then his vietnamese passport. then take everything to the CHC. which i would need an answer for ( 3 ) and ( 4 ).
Thanks in Advance for any advice given.
1. You apply for proof of citizenship for the child and then as the child is under 2 you can immediately apply for a limited validity passport.bigludwig said:This was probably already answered...
Background information: I am American and my wife is Canadian by birth. We have a 7 month old baby born in the United States. I have applied for my PR and we are hoping to move to Canada as soon as possible. I spoke with a representative about 5 months ago.
My questions are this:
What is the quickest possible way to obtain a Citizenship Certificate?
What is the quickest anybody on here has experienced?
The immigration website said it would take 10 months. It does not make sense that it would take that long. The Provincial government said we would need the certificate to get her a medical coverage card.
Thank you in advance for any answers

If you want to make sure, you can always email your queries to the visa office.JT1979 said:Thanks for the Reply Steaky,
but your previous posts were related to Hong Kong, does it matter if its in vietnam? also can you clarify how you are sure you do not need a DNA test, because that dang test could take up to 3 months. for other proof i got everything i need.
Thanks.
Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought the prevailing wisdom was that the parents:PMM said:Hi

1. No a citizenship would not allow the child on the plane if s/he had a passport that required a TRV. A CC parent can apply for a limited validity passport for the child (under 2) if they have applied for proof of citizenship.toby said:Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought the prevailing wisdom was that the parents:
1. Should apply to their nearest embassy for "proof of citizenship", and then apply to Sydney for a citizenship card, which can take more than a year.
2. The citizenship card would be enough to get the child into Canada (without passport).
3. The parents should of course apply for the child's passport asap.
4. If the parents need to take the child into Canada before the citizenship card has arrived, and the child is under 2 years of age, they can apply for a limited validity passport (good for 2 years).
Yes, you are a citizen. Contact the nearest Canadian embassy to apply for a citizenship card, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/proof-how.asp for the application forms.Gralgernon said:My mother is a born Canadian citizen.
