Hi,

I am applying for my Canadian citizenship. My daughter is a US citizen and now I am applying for a Canadian citizenship for her as well.

Do I need to do any action before/after applying for her Canadian citizenship. Any legal issues?

Does she have Canadian PR?

Yes, she is a Canadian PR now.
Her citizenship doesn't make a difference and there's no action needed. Go ahead and submit the application.

Once she is an adult, she will need to be aware that she is required to file US taxes annually regardless of where she is living. But that has nothing to do with the Canadian citizenship application.
