| Canadian Citizenship for Child Born Aboard
If a Canadian citizen mother gave birth to a child in another country, is the child going to have Canadian citizenship automatically?
Is there any special application or time limit for such circumstance?

there is no time limit. you can apply for dual citizen ship if that happens which doesn't expire.

Yes the child will qualify for automatic Canadian citizenship but there will be some paperwork

I was born in Germany but my parents didn't bother with dual citizenship and now I can't get it. I would have loved to move back and lived/worked in the EU  | |

Actually there are some new laws in regards to this that have recently disqualified a lot of children of Canadian's board abroad from citizenship. I believe the Canadian who gave birth abroad must have been born in Canada themselves to be able to pass on the citizenship.
I'm sure there's some government office that can supply all the details.

Baby gets citizenship. Parent can claim they have to stay here to take care of the baby; essentially free ride to citizenship. This is why americans want to kick out preggo women to prevent "anchor babies".
Kid who is born to parents of Canadian citizenship WHO WERE BORN IN CANADA can get citizenship. If their parents are born outside of Canada, they cannot claim citizenship. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Posted via RS Mobile | ok..i think that's the case here....my friend's parent immigrated to Canada about 10-15 years ago from Hong kOng.
So if my friend has a baby in hong kong now....her child won't be able to get canadian citizenship?

What if one of them is born in Canada while the other is born elsewhere, say the wife is born in HK? How does that work?

There was a story in the paper about how there is a family that spent most of their lives in Canada but the father was born in Germany or Venezuela because of the family business, then so was the child. Kid can't get Canadian citizenship because the kid and dad were born out of the country. Quote:

How does that work? | I believe it only takes one parent to gain citizenship in a certain country. I'm honestly not sure how it would work if the parents are both citizens of different countries and the child were born in a third country. It'd sure be a hell of a complicated passport situation.
And if it's HK, better find out if there's an HK exception for citizenship; iirc china doesn't allow dual citizenship. Posted via RS Mobile | |

if the mother was born in Canada or naturalized, then the child will get citizenship. if the mother inherited citizenship then the child will not inherit citizenship.

You have to do it in a country where you can get at LEAST a 3 month tourist visa as a lot of countries won't let you come in beyond 6 months pregnant (such as the US's incoming laws), usually they use air travel restrictions to enforce these.

Isn't there some kind of law that restricts you from boarding the plane if you're 6-8 months pregnant or so?
