There is a part that asks a photocopy of the passport info page for all members of the family. Does that mean only the ones being sponsored or also my daughter who is a Canadian citizen?

we live abroad and are applying outland, thanks

Well I think you can attach a photocopy of either her Canadian passport or her Canadian Birth Certificate, or her Citizenship Certificate (if she was born abroad). Just so you clarify to CIC that she is already a citizen of Canada and does not need to be sponsored. Because she will be included in your application (immigration form - IMM5406 and sponsorship form - IMM5481).

In my case my daughter was born abroad to a Canadian father and we have just applied for her Citizenship Certificate. It is not gonna be ready at the moment of submitting my sponsorship application. That is why I am going to enclose her notary certified translation of her Birth Certificate which clearly says, that her father is a Canadian Citizen. Which means she doesn not need to be sponsored.

Thanks. Yeah we also applied for her proof of citizenship but it takes months to get it. On her birth certificate, it doesn't say the nationality of the parents.

But if I send my copy of the passport or my citizenship certificate, would it be sufficient? because it's obvious that she is Canadian if her mother is.

I think that shoud not be a problem. Personally I would send both Passport and Citizenship Certificate photocopies.. just in case.
But I think that is not that big of a deal.. Cause she is a citizen no matter what.
