Applying Citizenship Certificate for baby born outside Canada from India

[venkigowda]

Hi all,

I need help with applying for Citizenship certificate for a new born baby from India. Both parents Canadian Citizens but we are currently in India. Can someone suggest on how to proceed as I am bit confused with either submitting the application Online or Offline in India?

Hello everyone,

Congratulations on the newest addition to your family! If your baby was born in India and at least one parent is a Canadian citizen, this guide is for you. Navigating the bureaucracy of two countries can be confusing, so my partner and I documented our process to help others. We hope this saves you time and stress.

Congratulations on the new baby. Did you get your AOR, Proof of citizenship and Passport yet?
