I find it hard to believe since no European country grants nationality based on unrestricted jus solis (some few grant based on jus solis basis but there are a number of rules that are applied), which contrasts with Canada's mix of jus soli and jus sanguinis.longwaitwithrq said:Hi I know of a similar case where the son was born in another European country and his parents decided as patriotic citizens to get him an Indian passport and Indian citizenship. The kid remained an Indian and cant stop cursing his parents as he cant reverse his parents decision and now is a young man. Has been so bitter that he refuses to meet his parents now that he doesn't stay with them. Cursing his existence in India for whatever reasons !

France.alphazip said:Not sure what European country this was, but Canada and the USA award citizenship based on birth in the country. European countries mainly award citizenship based on descent. Parents of a child born in Canada can't make any deal or arrangement to deny the child's right to Canadian citizenship. If this family is going to live in India, obviously the choice that makes the most sense would be to get an Indian passport. The child can always decide later to move back to Canada. The only change that would be permanent is if the child (as an adult) renounces Canadian citizenship before Canadian authorities. At that point, any right to live and work in Canada comes to an end.
I have same case also.Just want to know what did you find best way to solve this priblem?Me and my wife are Indian citizens (hold Indian passports) currently staying in Canada both having a valid Canadian work permit. We are expecting a child to be born in November this year in Canada and would like to confirm on few points regarding citizenship of baby and its consequences.
1. Should we get Indian or Canadian passport for the baby, (as we want settle in India permanently and do not plan to come back to Canada). What are the pros and Cons of both these options?
2. If we choose Indian passport, will my child be able to reclaim the Canadian citizenship when he/she reaches 18 years of age?
3. If we choose to take Canadian passport, will he/she be able to claim Indian citizenship ever after based on parents having Indian citizenship?
I saw few related threads but could not get answers to all my queries. Please help
You are responding to a post that is almost 6 years old.I have same case also.Just want to know what did you find best way to solve this priblem?
please let me know
Hi There,Thanks a lot alphazip. This really very helpful info.
So based on these facts, it seems to me that it is better to go for Indian passport so that child doesn't suffers any partial treatment at any front and meanwhile we parents also need not to worry about paying any extra money for child's education (NRI/OCI quota etc). Also the child will have the option to select his/her citizenship once he/she reaches 18 yrs of age.
Please suggest if I am missing any other consequence that we must also consider before assuming this option to be better.
You should ask what specific questions you have. It is pretty much up to you if you want the Indian passport for your child or not. Irrespective of your actions now, the child will always have their own choice to make the day turn 18. So if you decided to get the Indian passport, the child can always renounce Indian citizenship and come back to Canada when they grow up.Hi There,
I saw your query and I am in a similar boat now. Could you please help me with your experience like what did you choose and how do you feel about your decision. Thanks.
As for Canada is concerned, your child is a Canadian citizen, so there is no need for a visa. In other words, they won't issue any visa as it does not make sense.1. Does a Canadian Citizen by birth holding a foreign passport (Indian) and without Canadian Passport, need a visa to enter to/travel from Canada or a Canadian Birth Certificate + Indian Passport be sufficient?
