Hi everyone, just a question that needs clarification. I've pored over the CIC website over these laws but am still having a hard time with it. I know someone in a situation as follows:

He is a naturalized citizen (born in Korea, came to Canada at a young age). Currently living overseas.
Fairly certain Citizenship was obtained prior to 2009.
He and his wife (non-Canadian) are expecting a child.

Will the child be Canadian if born overseas, or does that 1 generation foreign born policy apply in this situation and the child will not be Canadian, as he immigrated to Canada?

Thanks!

Awesome. Thank you. This applies even if only one of the parents were Canadian, correct?

Correct. Only one of the parents need to be naturalized canadian / born in Canada.
