Interesting thought....without proof of citizenship, even if you are correct, the border guards won't know that--that's why I'm concerned they will be turned away just a thought: r they really immigrating? for me that word is for non-citizens but they will b citizens in a few months....just need a litle of paperwork...i would say that they just move to Canada to b with their mom

hmm just saying that if u say to the guards that they r immigrating, it's a strong word for them, and maybe they r not in the same category as other immigrants...u should have their citizenship process started, u would show them proof of that...good luck!! |

You can always try, but legally no one has a right to reside in Canada unless they have a landed immigrant visa or citizenship certificate and the border guards are obligated to follow those rules. You'd need to check on the insurance issue too, because the provincial health coverage usually starts after 3 months of taking up residency. Can the kids obtain a provincial health card if they don't have proof of citizenship yet? If not, the kids need a private insurance plan to be paid for them until they can use the provincial system.

The right is not attached to the piece of paper. It is attached to citizenship or permanent resident status. |

That makes sense, but without the piece of paper, they have no way to know that a person is a citizen. The right is not attached to the piece of paper. It is attached to citizenship or permanent resident status.

I know. But I'm not Canadian, so I can't start it. Their mom has to do it and she thinks it isn't necessary. hmm just saying that if u say to the guards that they r immigrating, it's a strong word for them, and maybe they r not in the same category as other immigrants...u should have their citizenship process started, u would show them proof of that...good luck!!

My 13 and 14 year old children were born in the USA to a US citizen (me) and a British-born naturalized Canadian Citizen (their mother). They have lived all their lives in the US. Their mother has moved to Manitoba and they will be moving to Manitoba with her in 4 weeks. I will be transporting them across a land border into Ontario to fly to Winnipeg. Their birth certificates do not reference Canada at all, but their mother states that the only documentation I will need at the border is their birth certificates and our divorce decree, which states that she has permission to move them to Canada.
When I tell the border agent they are Immigrating to Canada, will they be allowed entrance?
They are not immigrating, they are moving. Their mother is wrong. Will she at least give you a copy of her citizenship card to show to the CBSA officers to advise that their mom will be applying for their citizenship? |
