Several years ago, just a couple of months after my husband submitting citizenship application, we had to move to US because of job. A few months later, our child was born in US. After another several months, the application got approved and my husband became Canadian citizen. But, because our child was born when we were only PR, our child has neither Canadian PR or citizenship.

Now, we are thinking about returning to Canada, and we know we need to sponsor our child as Canadian PR. But, if we return to Canada before our child's PR is approved, what status should our child use to live in Canada? What should we do for our child's health insurance and can our child goes to school the same way as other PRs or citizens?

Last question, once we live in Canada and our child's PR get approved, can we apply for citizenship for our child right away? Or we should wait until my child satisfying the residency requirement?
