documents for the baby?

[kase]

Hi there my husband, Canadian Citizen applied for outland sponsorship. But I'm pregnant and seem to me that I cannot receive PR so fast as I have only 5 month before due date. What should we do if our baby is born in Ukraine. We didn't include baby in application but I want to come with infant as soon as I receive PR. What kind of documents we have to prepare for our baby?Do we need to send application to the embassy and make a passport, visa? Maybe someone knows how long it is gonna take for new born baby? Thank you

If your husband was born in Canada or became a Canadian citizen through naturalization, then your baby will be a Canadian citizen and you will need to obtain a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship so that you may apply for a passport for the baby. You will need to go through the "additional family information" form and update it to show your (Canadian) child on that form.

If your husband was born outside Canada but is a Canadian citizen, then your child is not a Canadian Citizen and you must go through the forms, updating them to include your child and submit the forms that have changed to the visa office - but you cannot do that until you have a birth certificate for your baby.

Assuming your child is a Canadian citizen: if you have not yet received a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship by the time you wish to travel, you will need to obtain a temporary Canadian passport for your baby, or if they will not issue one, you will need a facilitation visa entered into the baby's Ukrainian passport.

If your child is is not a Canadian citizen: you may request a TRV from the embassy; in that application you should ask them to convert it to a TRP application (additional $200 fee) if they determine the baby is inadmissible, which happens - the visa office determines that the baby is unlikely to leave Canada at the end of the TRV. A TRP overcomes that inadmissibility and would normally be granted on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

regarding the line in bold above, I'm confused....doesn't that mean they are a Naturalized citizen? Isn't that what happens - you are born outside of Canada and then later become a citizen? why would their child not be a citizen?

No, that means they are citizens by descent - their parent was born in Canada or naturalized, but they were not - they inherited their citizenship. Thus, citizenship flows through the first generation born abroad but not subsequent generations.

Thanks for clarifying! I couldn't see the difference between that one and the one in the first paragraph. I get it now
