hello everybody,
my husband and me have spent 5 years in canada with a work permit, we are from france, we are french and we had a son who was born in Vancouver when we were there with a work permit. He has a canadian birth certificate that says "place of birth: north vancouver" but his nationality is french. He has a french passport.
We now reside in france and we have just received the permanent residence confirmation letter by post and we are happy to come back to canada. We noticed that they forgot to put our son on the document as a dependent coming with us (I was the main applicant and we applied under the Canadian experience class). I emailed the cic case processing office in ottawa and they keep saying that our son is canadian because he was born in canada. I keep reading that when a child is born in canada of parents who don't have the permanent residence, he cannot be canadian.
Anybody can help ??? i really am losing my mind because i've emailed them three times now telling them that he's not and they keep saying he is already canadian
thanks for any help
