Hi everyone :)

I have a question regarding obtaining a proof of citizenship for my baby, who is due to be born in a few weeks.

I'm a naturalised Canadian from BC living in London with my British husband. We're in the midst of applying for a spousal sponsorship for my husband, but I understand that my baby is technically born a Canadian because of my status and that we'd just need to apply for a proof of citizenship for him. I see that the processing time for obtaining a proof of citizenship is 5 months but would it be possible to leave to Canada before then and just wait for his citizenship to come through on a forwarded address? Or would it be easier to just apply for this while we're in Canada to avoid waiting here?

Appreciate any help/advice.
