It clearly states that -
Timing of the application for a minor: the application can be made simultaneously (concurrent) with one or both parents or after one or both parents have become a Canadian citizen (non-concurrent)
So which means that, if I am a Canadian citizen ( got my citizenship after coming to canada) and my minor kids though they don't qualify for 1095 days ( physical presence), they can be applied for citizenship under section 5(2) as I am a canadian citizen. Is my understanding correct?

Kids are back in India, and we are here so got the citizenship. Now have to apply for them, that's the reason I asked coz they won't have the physical presence of 1095 to fulfill. when we apply in section 5(2), we don't have to fulfill the physical presence, looks like
