Hello,

Long story short, we are now in Europe, I am Canadian (born in Canada) and my child (born in Europe) is waiting for the Canadian citizenship certificate (can take several months) but we plan to go to Canada very soon. Because my child has "technically" a dual citizenship, she cannot fly directly to Canada without a Canadian passport.

Can we fly to USA then drive to Canada without issues? Can a dual citizenship Canadian cross the border to Canada with a non-Canadian passport?

Thanks
