hi!
I am a Canadian citizen by descent. I have a baby girl who is 9 months old which makes her 2nd generation so she is not a Canadian citizen by birth and I want to go visit my dad in Canada with my family. Her father is Palauan and he needs a visa in order to get there. I am really confused if I need to apply a visa for her because she has a Palauan passport but yet she is my daughter. Can I get her in without a visa???? please help me!!

1. Ignore Jalex. As you know the child is second generation born abroad and is not eligible for Canadian citizenship.
2. As the child is not a citizen, and if she has Palauan citizenship, then she would require a TRV (visitor visa) It doesn't matter that you are a citizen.
