Canadian citizenship

[canfil]

Hi!
I am hoping someone could shed me some light and give me answers to my questions.
I am a filipino, married to a Canadian, however my husband was not born in Canada he was born in the US in 1976 , a few months after hew was born the family moved back to Canada and my husband was naturalized when he was 2 years old.
Now, we have a daughter who was born here in the Philippines , my question is, Can I apply for citizenship for her , is she eligible?
Thanks.

Yes - she is eligible by descent.

Were his parents already Canadian citizens when he was born?

• If they were, then he is actually a citizen by descent, so your daughter would not be eligible for citizenship by descent because of the generational limit. What happened at age 2 may have been just him getting his birth registered during the delayed registration period.
  
• Otherwise if he was naturalized with his parents at age 2, then yes, your daughter would be considered the first generation and eligible for citizenship by descent.
