Accompanying Canadian child with spouse

[tviloria]

Hi so I will be sponsoring my wife who is in the Philippines and my son is candian through birth right from me who is also currently in the Philippines. He will be accompanying my wife, does he need to supply 9 photos as well for the country specific list?

No, you need to apply for proof of citizenship for him, after which you may obtain his Canadian passport for him.

My daughter is dual citizen like your son (korean and canadian and born in s. korea)
When we came to Canada, she had two passports from both countries.
we showed korean passport at the korean airport and showed her canadian at vancouver.
CBSA did not ask to show her birth certificate or citizenship cert. though.

but you should ask more info at canada embassy in your city.

Did you include 9 photos for your children with the application? Also did you apply for their Canadian citizenship before or after you sent the application?

Would u include your child in the IMM008 as a dependent? Also what nationality would u mention therein?

i did not send any photos of my daughter for my pr app.

She was born in s. korea so we applied for her citizenship (before sent pr app)at Canadian embassy but it processed more than 6 month.
According to visa officer at the embassy, she cannot make passport without her citizenship cert.
only way to get her passport is purchase flight ticket first and send itinerary of ticket with application.
So we did (purchase ticket first then applied her passport)
she had her passport without any problem and she got her citizenship cert in Canada (applied middle of OCT and received next May)

found this from another member's answer.


2.i have included my kid (Canadian citizen) in the imm008 form(dependent section). do i need to provide the photograph ?

If your child is a Canadian citizen, he/she is NOT included on the application (do not list in the dependent section). List your child only in the "Additional Family Information" form, write a brief letter of explanation ("My child was born in Canada and is already a Canadian Citizen), and include a copy of his/her birth certificate (and Canadian passport, if applicable).


think I sent photocopy of her birth certificate and both korean and canadian passports.

Thanks but I was told by immigration that I could still send in the application while my child's citizenship is in process, just have to send a copy of the receipt. If the sponsorship gets approved before the citizenship then to just apply for temporary passport. If citizenship gets approved before sponsorship then of course apply for passport asap. Or at least that's what I was told anyways.

they are right.
we had to come to Canada and had no time to wait for her citizenship cert. so we found another way to get her passport.

what i sent with my pr app is her birth certificate in English from hospital and receipt of her citizenship app from embassy.

vo did not request any doc regarding to my daughter's citizenship.
