CIT 0001 - Page 1

[SS.Ambekar]

Hello,

I am a Canadian. My daughter was born outside of Canada after I was naturalized.

I am filling application form CIT 0001. I am not sure which among the following options must be checked on page 1 of the form.

Do any of these apply to you?

1. I want to pass down my Canadian citizenship to my child born outside Canada AND I was born in Canada or naturalized in Canada before my child was born; I didn’t adopt my child.
2. I never had a citizenship certificate and I was born outside Canada to a Canadian parent who was born in Canada or naturalized in Canada before I was born; I wasn’t adopted by my Canadian parent.

Option 1 would be to answer as a Parent
Option 2 is to answer as an applicant (on behalf of my minor child).

Please suggest which is correct.

Thanks,
SSA.

Since you are applying for your child, pick option 1.
If your daughter was applying on her own (as an adult) she would pick option 2.

Thank you very much for your reply. That makes sense. I have completed the form accordingly.
