Thanks - This is what i was looking for. many thanks for steering me to the links. I am going to assume similar times for Quebec as well. Best -

@PMM - i think we're chasing our tails here. how much time would one budget to obtain a passport to leave the country both mother and child. If not a passport, is the child able to travel with documents demonstrating that the passport application is in process. I was told (in a different...

So therein lies my question - i am not sure that I've read how quickly one can obtain citizenship ( said normally to take up to 14 months?) and then obtain a passport - in this sequence. although this may only be for applications made abroad? My wife works for the airlines and we know that one...

Thanks Steaky - i'm afraid that I'm no clearer. We would need to return in a matter of a week or two. Once the child is born, it would be at that point that I would expect to process the application and need to know if there is any body that i can apply/appeal to, to allow our child to leave...

I've already come to this forum to have my fears confirmed that my to-be-born baby will not be able to be born a Canadian if not born in Canada. I am Canadian born to Canadian parents abroad and seemingly have a Canadian citizenship 'lite' - all the liability but without the privilege. Trying...

@ Leon Thanks Leon, Lots of interesting points. my wife and i both live in Hong Kong and she's an Indian national. We know that we can't get citizenship for HKG and India is being investigated although it's not the best of passports to have to travel the globe. She holds a multiple entry...

we'd like to find out what procedures to expect if we have our baby in Canada. Recently learned that our child needs to be born in Canada to get Canadian citizenship (apart from me sponsoring the child as I am a born abroad Canadian). Is it as simple as booking a flight, and then sitting and...

@ Chelley, Merci!

Tks Leon - This could go on until the cows come home. I agree with your comments and in your context, equally agree with your comments of my last point. But i am suggesting that this is the whole reason I am even concerned about the access to citizenship - i want my child to identify with...

@PMM qte 2. The reason for the change in the Citizenship Act was the passing down of citizenship through generations born abroad, who had no connection to Canada and had never been in Canada. unqte I agree entirely. i meet people where i live who are know little about Canada yet have...

Looking for clarity on this matter - I am a Canadian born abroad and have only this week learned that the birth of my child abroad, would not entitle them to Canadian Citizenship. besides feeling that this is unjust, i'm now trying to see what i can do about it. I am from Quebec and have...

I am corresponding with my local CDN embassy but am would like to post to this forum to ask of other opinions to better prepare myself. My non-Canadian wife and I are expecting our 1st child this coming DEC. I am born to Canadian citizens but abroad. I've never held any another citizenship...
