Do children born outside Canada also have to fulfil the residency requriments to become citizens? So my child was born in the US and I became a citizen 3 months after she was born. Can I go ahead and file for citizenship for her or she has to also wait 4 out of 6 years?

because you get the citizenship after she was born you should sponsor her first to come canada and after that you can apply for her citizenship directly after landing ( there is no residency requirement for children )
