Hi there
I too am a born Canadian citizen and gave birth to my daughter in Guatemala Jan 30, 2011. We applied for my husbands PR Feb 24, sponsorship was approved march 24 and we are waiting out the application process....
We applied for our daughter canadian citizenship (which she gets because i was born in Canada) and we applied for a temporary passport its only good for two years but we can travel back to canada with it (we had to show proof of travel to get it and a bunch of pictures)
I don't know if any of this helps but if i can help let me know
ps i don't know what happens to her health care or baby bonus because she was born out of country....
thanks for ur story, i was wodering what specificly did u have to provide to get the citizen ship, and do u have to apply for a temporary passport seperatly; befor or after getting the citizenship?
