Me: Born in British Columbia, Canadian citizen by birth. Became a naturalized US citizen in 2010.
Wife: Born in California USA. Applied for citizenship certificate in Canada but applying by descent may not work as her grandfather was born in Ontario, mother is a citizen as a result and is getting her certificate.
Twin girls (5.5 months old): Biological daughters of wife and I. Citizens by birth through descent.
All 3 citizenship certificate applications sent by post around April 14th, 2020.
Situation: we live in California and want to move to Canada as soon as possible. Our applications are all pending, so we can't proceed under normal circumstances. I'm trying to sort out if we can come using some type of temporary entry authorization.
Questions:
Thank you for any ideas or guidance you can suggest.

Questions:
- Are we able to apply for any type of entry visa as my girls are Canadian and my wife has an application pending?
- Do the girls need US passports first? Wife has one already.
- Would my wife qualify for entry based on her certificate application or would we have to send in a Spousal Visa as well? Would this be an issue?
