Assuming you're not diplomatic staff, the child is already Canadian. Other answers have already been given in your previous thread about the birth of your child: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/citz-appln-in-process-new-born-what-procedures-t346698.0.html

Yes, I know that the other thread was about including your Canadian-born child in your application because I read the thread, which is why I also pointed out that another answer has indeed been given about your child's nationality:

There is nothing to do, the child is already a Canadian citizen and that citizenship has zero effect on the pending citizenship of the rest of the family. But call the Call Centre if you'd like confirmation and report back to let us know what they said.

Note: A child born, or a new family member when a PR application is in process is a whole different matter and must be reported ASAP.

Also, I didn't brush off your question as implied, I did actually try to help you:

If you still don't believe me or eileenf, feel free to read section 3 of the Citizenship Act: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-29/page-2.html#h-3

"Persons who are citizens

3. (1) Subject to this Act, a person is a citizen if
(a) the person was born in Canada after February 14, 1977;"

The only things that would prevent the child from being recognized as Canadian despite being born in Canadian soil are described in subsection 2 and aren't applicable to you from what you've posted in this forum.

For a child born in Canada, a birth certificate is proof of citizenship. You don't need to apply for anything else.

There has been no such bill passed.
