Daughter born with US and Canadian Parents

[x5-452]

Hi I will be sponsoring my wife to come to canada and I was wondering if i need to fill out any paperwork for my daughter? I (cdn citizen) am currently here in the US with a work visa, living with my wife (US citizen) and daughter (1 yr old). I will be filing out paperwork for a citizenship certificate for my daughter as she is born with a canadian parent. Is that all that is needed?

If you were born or naturalized in Canada, or your daughter was born before April 17, 2009, then she's a Canadian citizen and doesn't need to be sponsored—you can just apply for a citizenship certificate and then use that to get a Canadian passport for her.

Thanks York. Can you clarify though?
I am born canadian and right now working in texas on a work visa but plan on moving back. My daughter was born on April 23, 2009. She would be considered dual citizen correct?

Yes, first generation born abroad. Though any of her children born abroad, would not be considered Canadians by descent.
