Hi all,
I'm a Canadian citizen by descent, born outside Canada, and had my own children outside of Canada as well. Since they were born after 2009, they were not entitled to receive Canadian citizenship, but I was able to sponsor them and move to Canada with them and my partner as PR's several months ago.
I have applied for their citizenship from here, and that application is in process. In the meantime I see that Bill 3 has received royal assent and my kids may automatically become citizens. I am not sure if I should apply for citizenship certificates for them, or just wait it out and see what IRCC says. Would their application be rejected? Or is the application supposed to result in a certificate either way? I'm sure there's a lot of uncertainties about this, but hoping for some clarity.
