Hi,
I am a Canadian citizen born in the Philippines. I recently gave birth to my daughter here in Manila and according to the 2009 ruling, 2nd generation children born outside Canada can no longer acquire citizenship. My husband and daughter applied together for a TRV and while my husband got his approved TRV, my daughter got refused. The reason behind it being that she is Canadian and she should apply for proof of citizenship. I went to the embassy this morning and the recommendation given to me was apply for proof of citizenship (and pay) , wait for the rejection letter (processing time is 8 to 9 mos) and reapply for TRV with the rejection as an attachment to the application (and pay again). Is there another way around this? Can I appeal? Thank you for your answers!
