Child Citizenship inquiry please

[hambousha]

Hello all
A divorced couple
The dad applied for citizenship application and getting it soon
The kid lives with the mom and she said she is applying for herself and for the kid.
Now she is not planning to apply
Anyway the dad can pass the citizenship to his son once the dad gets his application done ?
If yes , how ?

thanks

The child was born before dad became Canadian. Hence citizenship won't be passed to child automatically. The child needs to go through the application process and meet the eligibility criteria.

Yeah and he does meet the criteria
Can I apply for him like in a separate application?
Without any of the parents ?

Yes you can if you have legal custody of the child. Citizenship application form 5(1) minors needs to be used in this case.

Hi, Do we know the overall processing time for minor applicants from AOR to Certificate?

Wish we had a crystal ball that could answer the question.
