My baby born in Canada. What is her status here?

[patelmr3]

Me and my wife are here in Canada for 2 years and we both have post graduation work permits. Last month we got blessed with a baby girl.

What is her status here? Is she considered a Canadian citizen? Do me and my wife as well have any chances of getting PR or citizenship? How does my new born baby's status in Canada affect our status?

Baby is Canadian citizen.

No, you or wife have no chances of getting PR or citizenship through her. Once, the baby turns 18, she can sponsor based on parent sponsorship rules at that time.

Your baby's status is independent of your status.

Your baby is a Canadian citizen. Right now parents status remain same unless you worked for it to get it on your own. Your daughter can sponsor you when she becomes 18 years old as per rules at play that time.

You and your wife can certainly apply for Permanent Resident status, but your case isn't helped (or hurt) by having a Canadian-citizen child. If you want to be a PR, apply for it.
