Hi everybody,

If a baby was born in Canada and the parents is on a visitor visa, how much time it needs for them to get the passport & the certificate of birth ???

I heard it takes around three months !!! And if thats true is there any way the baby can leave canada if the parents cant wait that long to get the passport ?? I mean will they issue any certificate that proves that he is a canadian citizen till his passport is ready and sent by mail through the canadian embassy in the country of origin of his parents ??


Thanks

Even if the baby was born in Alberta I have to go to Toronto to apply for the birth certificate and emergency passport ??
What I know is that the birth certificate should be issued from the same city where the baby was born

Is that true ?

1. No, you should have stated the Province where the birth took place. The instructions are here: http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/Birth-certificates-how-to-apply.cfm

I apologize for assuming you are from Toronto. The process is very similar in every province. You may be able to get it sooner as the no of applications is way to higher than in Alberta.
