I have an update on the case of me trying to get my son to come to Canada with me as he was born in Pakistan. The Citizenship application has been rejected for the third time. I am a Canadian Citizen and Canadian born, and not of Pakistani Origin or anyone from my family. My son is a Canadian because of me descent. They rejected his application first time saying the hospital birth certificate is not accepted even though it has all stamps and attestation of both Pakistan Foreign Affairs and Afghan Embassy.

They told me in person at CHC-Islamabad that everything is good just get Union Council Birth. I finally did and sent everything but they rejected it saying that the birth certificate is not of legal paper. Saying that it seems to be photocopied. Will CHC-Islamabad is the crappiest and worst embassy in the world. They seem to be looking for a bone inside a d***. Then add the bottom they are saying to send my son's Afghan Citizen Card (for refugees). First of all they don't issue them anymore as the expiry of the original cards are end of 2012. My son is born in 2013. And plus if they still did issue it, takes more than 1 month of processing, so how can someone travel urgently to Canada if they are asking for more bull*censored word* everytime I send something. Why cant stupid CHC-Islamabad say everything they want in one shot and why make all this trouble for a baby.
Was the birth certificate issued by Secretary Union Council carrying his official stamp. You may also try to apply for a limited validity canadian passport for your child at the Counselor Services CHC-Islamabad ,while your baby proof of citizenship case is in process , you need to contact the Counselor Assistant at CHC-Islamabad , you can check the Phone No.s from their website or write to Conselor Services to send you the required forms for Limited Validity Passport.

If they have asked for the imm forms and rpcc then they will start the background checks . I am sure he should receive passport request before his second medical expires.

There is no such rule that you have mentioned. Infact a child born to a Canadian parent (i.e either father or mother is a Canadian) is a Canadian.
Masood Sb. needs to contact the concerned Secretary Union Council in Pakistan,in whose juresdiction his wife was living and ask him to issue an official Birth Certificate for the baby.
Thanks for clarifying the subject to him. I went to many union councils some told me this is not my area, and others told me that they only give birth certificates to Pakistanis. I finally paid a lawyer to get it for me and gave him $65 and he finally got it after 3 days. However when I submitted it to CHC-Islamabad they told me the birth certificate is not acceptable as it is not on proper/legal paper. That it seems to be photocopied. Stupid pieces of crap that try to find an excuse everytime.

Yes it had its stamp on it, as my lawyer even said he had to wait an extra day for the secretary union council leader to stamp it as he had a family member pass away. The issue is the paper quality for CHC-Islamabad not the issue regarding whether it is real or fake. I am trying to get a Limited Validity Passport however for that to happen proof of citizenship has to be in process. And for that to happen Birth Certificate must be sent but they keep rejecting it first because I sent hospital certificate, now the issue regarding the quality of the paper it is printed on. Do you have an actual number or email of consular services.

This information is not accurate. The child is Canadian if either the Father, OR the mother is Canadian

See the link below:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/proof.asp

Text of interest:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Citizenship certificates (some people born outside Canada between February 15, 1977, and April 16, 1981, inclusively, to a Canadian parent who was also born outside Canada to a Canadian parent were required to take steps before their 28th birthday in order to keep their citizenship. This is known as “retention” of one’s citizenship. If they did not take the necessary steps to retain their citizenship, it was automatically lost under the 1977 Citizenship Act.

+92-51-208-6000 is CHC Islamabad No. ,ask the operator to get you through Consular Services. I am not sure but i think you have to add 011 with that No. if you are dialing from Canada.

Wsalam,

Don't worry about changing your address.. you can change the address when you land at the Canadian Airport.. This has nothing to do with receiving your passport.. most likely you will receive the passport either tomorrow or on Saturday IA.
