Hi,

Here's my situation:

- Me: born in England, became a Canadian citizen In 2002

- Husband: born in Nigeria, became a Canadian citizen in 2015

- Undergoing gestational surrogacy, meaning the surrogate will have no genetic link to our baby.

- Will have legal documentation about surrogacy agreement

- Husband and I will be listed on birth certificate as parents. Not sure if it will say biological mother and father though

- We will get a DNA test done and have that documentation to show I'm biological mother and husband is biological father

- Baby will be born in Nigeria

Can someone confirm if our baby will be automatically granted Canadian citizenship? What documents will I need to apply for from Nigeria? How long can it take? Any options to expedite? I don't want to be stuck there with a newborn for months

I also want to be sure I'm not missing anything. Suggestions are welcomed

Hello. Did you ever get advise on how to proceed, or were you able to figure it out? I have a friend in the exact same situation. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you
