Greetings,

I am hereby required to clarify the below doubts for applying Canadian citizenship for minor:

- I am eligible for Canadian Citizenship in Aug 2021 and have determined the same by checking in physical presence calculator. I am having a daughter and son who are aged 10 and 3. My son is born Canadian citizen and my daughter was born back in India. My wife is not intending to apply Canadian citizenship and hold PR.

- Owing to personal reasons, I am in need of sending my family back home and thus would like to determine if my daughter will be automatically included with my application? Does the physical presence calculator applies for minors? Does she need to be physically present in Canada at the time of application? I was going through IRCC and found this information.

https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/minors-applying-citizenship.pdf

From the above, I inferred that I will be falling under 5(2). Please advise

Sorry for the long post. Any inputs on this regard is highly appreciated.
