I applied for both canadian passport and citizenship certificated for my baby -that was born abroad -at the same time. We received her canadian passport in 2 weeks, but we were told the certificate takes between 6-8 months. I called the embassy today and they informed me, the office that process the certificates are really way behind the date and this may take up to a year.
My baby will be in Canada soon, she is only 6 months old and still need some immunizations, doctor check ups, etc. I wanted to get her a social insurance number for this, but in ordet to apply for a SIN u need to submit the original citizenship certificate.
Does it mean she wont be able to get social insurance wil they start doing their work on time? will she need to wait about 7 months without it? Can I just show her passport as a proof she is canadian and instead the citizenship certificate??
