Hello All,
I see some people have their kid born in India to a naturalized Canadian. Could someone help me with these questions since I'm in a similar situation ?
I'm a naturalized Canadian citizen and my wife is an Indian citizen and the kid is born in India recently. Could you please clarify the following for me
a. In Citizenship certificate application supporting documents, I would be able to give just the birth certificate of my kid as a proof. The kid does not have any other proof of identity. Is that enough for the kid or do we need to submit anything more. As for the parent, I would be able to give the passport and citizenship certificate.
b. In the Citizenship certificate application form, where it asks are you citizen of another country should I say Yes or No ? I asks this because since the kid is born in India and the mother is an Indian, kid too is an Indian. But the moment we apply for Citizenship certificate and passport, I'm not sure whether she would still be considered an Indian.
c. Once I apply for Citizenship certificate, how do I apply for passport and how long does it take ?
d. Will the Canadian Passport be delivered to the residential address or to the embassy from where I need to collect it ?
e. Once we get the citizenship certificate and passport, I need to apply for the OCI card for the kid. Can it be done from India and what is the procedure for the same ? How long does this procedure take ?
