HELP!!! baby will be born in the Philippines to a Canadian father.

[aj211990]

Anyone please enlighten me.
Im due on March 2018 my boyfriend(canadian) will be visiting me on March for our baby's delivery and for our civil wedding.
Can I apply for our baby's certificate of citizenship and canadian passport at the same time?

also i read this from canadian embassy manila

"For new born children who have not been issued any proof of citizenship, the proof of Canadian citizenship from one of the parents is required in addition to all other supporting documents. Please note that a Limited Validity Passport can only be issued to children aged below two (2) years old who have no proof of Canadian citizenship."

does this means i do not need to wait for our baby's certificate of citizenship to apply for his passport?

Im worried because it says 14 months for processing time of certificate of citizenship alone.

Parental Consent
If one parent resides outside the Philippines, he/she must report to the nearest Passport Office or a Canadian mission abroad to complete the “Acknowledgement/Consent to Provision of Passport Facilities for a Minor Child” form (PPTC028) and present valid government-issued photo identification.

The details of both parents should be written in Section 2 (Information on Applicant) of the Child Passport Application, but the declaration/signature block for the parent residing outside the Philippines must be left empty.

Prior to submitting the passport application, we recommend that the parent submitting the application contact the Consular Section to obtain a file number which must be provided to the other parent who will present this to the nearest Passport Office or Canadian mission abroad to complete “Acknowledgement/Consent to Provision of Passport Facilities for a Minor Child” form. Otherwise, there may be a delay in processing the passport application.
